Sissi and I spent most of the day looking at new apartments for her to rent. It was a cold wet day and so it was miserable wandering about in the rain. After the 10th tour and having to put on remove covers from shoes it was becoming tedious, we saw the last place at about 9:30pm.

Some of the styles and conditions of these houses are quite unbelievable and miserable at the same time. One of the places was only four years old and it looked like it had been built in the dark ages and then there was the one that had delusions of granduer where the decor and furniture had a Ming Dynasty feel for Emperor who flung dung. It was the gold phone that really wanted to make me vomit.
