This is the continuation of the previous post. Here's the view from the balcony from the living room. If you think the picture looks a little dusty, that's because it is. The camera that I have has a slight red tint and photos tend to look dark. Because of that, the photo looks rather awful. However, the apartment is really not bad despite the photo. However, I'm disappointed that a place that looks so good doesn't have a gym, tennis courts or even a swimming pool. All we have is a single, wimpy ping pong table. It must be a nationwide conspiracy to produce only world class ping pong players. When was the last time you heard of a world class Chinese bodybuilder, tennis player or swimmer? I'll bet a long time ago the Sports Minister met with the City planning department for a nice chat and it went like this.
Sports M: I've been thinking, we need a national sport.
City Pln: How about bodybuilding?
Sports M: No my doctor says I should avoid heavy exercise, its bad for the balance of my qi.
City Pln: What happened to the western doctor you hired last year?
Sports M: He told me to buy a treadmill, so I sent him to the national baked beans and onion workers' union colorectal clinic.
City Pln: That's tough. Why don't you choose a sport you're good at for the national sport. That would make your public appearances more exciting, especially if you play for the cameras.
Sports M: Thats true! I love ping pong!
City Pln: That's a sissy sport.
Sports M: But I like it!!
City Pln: Wait, I may have an idea...
and thus my apartment was born.
