Nice thing about China: sudden nice food smells out of nowhere.

Bad thing about china: apartments aren't generally plumbed with p-traps, meaning Bad Smells when not Good Food Smells.

My latest China story:

I am going for a short time, one month, maybe two, just to hang out with my friends before going back to the USA to see family. I haven't arrived yet. Chaoshan Girl has been super patient and helpful in trying to find me a sublet or short-term rental. There's a new scheme taking over cities, according the news article I read, where "young and hip" studios catering to single people or post-college kids can rent. Companies like Mofang and others are remodeling buildings to fit in like 400 studios and fill them with every bit of furniture and appliance needed to live alone, including having internet and TV included in the price. They have gyms, cafes, and all this other superfluous stuff added which is part of their system: Advertise at one price, but then every renter must pay "building fees (like HOA stuff)" as well some companies charge their own electric and water rates on top of the building fees and scoop out their share from that as well. They might advertise like 3000 RMB for the studio, but fees and their bills take it well over 4000 per month. Then you see the rooms at the 3000 price and they might not even have windows or something, and if you want windows, then the base price goes up to 4500 or something. On top of this, they often seem to demand the contract's worth of fees at once, like all those scam gyms tend to do.
It's a ton of money for a studio, and when CG went to look at these places there was a lot of availability. It's easy to see why when across the street in a building made in the 1990s you can get a fully furnished place without any fees or weird bills for under 3000.

CG was talking to a real estate guy outside and he showed her one with a three-month lease and it had everything included and the price was really good for the area, about 1000 less than I expected to pay. CG went, sent me photos, I said to get it, and then she started signing the documents and giving the real estate guy the scans of my passport and all this stuff. The landlady is really lazy and made them both wait two hours so she could add her signature, even though she lives right down the road.

She walks in and picks up the contract and talks to CG for a moment. She looks at the name on the lease and can't read it.

Her: "Foreigner?"
CG: "Yes, my friend. He is really good, very clean, cooks at home, works on his computer."
*Shows her photos of how I transformed my last Chinese dump into a cozy place*
Her: "I rented to a foreigner once. A Chinese from Malaysia. He was messy. I can't trust foreigners again."
*Literally just walks out of the house without saying another word*

The real estate agent tried to contact her and she replied that was shopping with friends and didn't have time to talk.

For not having to think about these kind of "issues" for the past nine or so months, xie xie for reminding me how you are, Mainland China.

my wife had one of these "modern youth apartment" deathtraps that had no windows and humidity issues. She left after barely a month. The place was awful. Her new place is nicer but none of the plumbing has p traps so SEWER GAS SMELLS ahoy
