Here is a view from our apartment at night of the neighboring apartment buildings. A reminder of the vastness of the population.
And yes, there were gas masks in our last hotel room. Complimentary, I think. And why were we in a hotel in the first place? We returned from a short visit to Beijing (a short 3 night visit that ended up meaning 2 different hotels and 3 different hotel rooms) on Thursday to find the elevator at our building not working. The security guards then informed us because of the construction the water and electricity would be off for a couple days. So I (Jill) carried Catherine up 18 flights of stairs while James carried our 2 suitcases up. We let Catherine take a nap in her own bed before making the decision to check in to yet another hotel. Gratefully, it was the nicest and best value we had stayed in yet.

I don't believe the picture of the building-line. Not anything like it was 4 years ago! Father's blessings on you all!
Wow! Thinking of you all! Thank you for the update Jill :)

18 flights of stairs with a toddler! Li hai!!
We used a bucket for bathing the kids too. It works. :) some friends of ours use a little wading pool as a tub. Hope your building gets the elevator to a point it will work all the time!
