Here's our "proof"... We have lived in China just over a year and the following items have broken (or been broken):
- one ironing board (while we were only once ironing, our house cleaner had it lasting just fine.)
- one metal handled broom (literally snapped in half while killing a cockroach.)
-one metal peeler
-one knife (the blade separated from the handle itself!)
-two wine openers (no comment)
-one garlic press
-one can opener
-one lime squeezer (Adam's too strong for his own good)
-two French coffee presses
-one electric water kettle (which subsequently melted the power bar, which failed to turn off like advertised, and blew out all of our electricity to the apartment for 24 hours)
-one stainless steel trashbin rusted over from humidity (so much for stainless steel right!)
Not too mention, all of our sinks, toilets, and faucets have leaked, the airconditioner remote stopped working (no it's not the batteries), our window handle broke in half, and our wall is literally falling off!
Should we also mention that we had to throw our bedding and pillows away after the summer holiday because when we returned they were covered in mold and mildew?
And it's things like these that remind us that even after more than a year, the adventure is still alive and well! :)
