Taipei, Shanghai, Zurich Day 2 – The apartment

The apartment has this odd combination of an open shower where the bathroom itself is a shower stall.  So everything (sink, bidet) get all wet when you shower.  I think you’re supposed to use a bucket of soapy water, sponge, and use the shower only to rinse.  Still a curtain would be useful.  The worst part of the apartment is that he plumbing stops up from toilet paper so one must use the shower as a bidet each time, which is cleaner but inconvenient.

The apartment is a single room studio with tiny kitchen area including cooker, microwave, big fridge, two huge dressers and drawers, and a big bed.  The apartment is completely empty.  There are no cups, glasses, dishes, pans.  I bought some prepared food and am re-using their containers.

My flat is less than two blocks from my daughter’s place.  It could not be more convenient!

Here is an interactive map of my daughter's apartment (map mash-ups are surprisingly easy!):
