Taiwan had a 6.6 magnitude earthquake last night. We also had a small one here in Fuzhou, but no one noticed except for Mrs. Normand and Mrs. Zhang-Micco who had dinner with the president of the college. Today we have nothing scheduled in the morning so Mrs. Zhang-Micco is going to take us shopping at H&M! I hope it is cheaper than it is in America (hehe).
Since Yoko-sensei asked about toilets, I will just say a few things. Yes, there are squat toilets, they are everywhere so we have done our best to adjust to them. The first few days we were a little timid to use them but it isn't so bad. Most places also have one western toilet amidst all the squatters. In our dorms we have a western toilet. On the trains, there is no western toilet. There is only a squat toilet and you can only use it when the train is in motion because it empties onto the ground below. I think the worst part about squat toilets is just the smell, but other than that there isn't really any big issue I have with them.
Thank you for updates about toilet in China! We have similar kind in Japan but the ones in China in country side is hard for western people.
