Quartiers D'ilanoé Airlines à Kunming

Ok so this is our street with a truly magnificent yellow hotel... so let's go that way, to go to our place an let's not get hit by the scooters C: here's the guy who sorts the garbage... C: horrible job.... C: it's a kind of hole where you throw everything C: And then people come and collect it I: you can give the cardboard to this guy when he's here I: here he is, with his bike C: So that's our residence C: and with the gate that reads "xizhan shequ" C : "West Station Residence" I : With public toilets at the entrance.... I: ... in case you really have to go C : there's actually a lot of buildings C: it's a sort of big complex C: there are tall buildings and small houses I : Voila! you can see some of the buildings I : So here are some great communist inscriptions on the wall C: so lots of rules about what you must and musn't do C: and stuff like "you need to love the country" and so on C: that's the place for bikes I: with a guy you can't see who guards them I: but we won't go film him... thats enough already I: So on our left there's many little work-out thingies I: 'cause chinese people are crazy about work-out in the morning... C : Wait first, the Mahjong room I : ah yeah the block's Mahjong room, you can't really see it but it's here I: and tiny tables to have lunch... C: with a dog on the table ! ... I: yeah that dog's always here I: so, thingies for your morning work-out C: which are cool I : yep I : especially when it's old people doing it and it's often the case I: 'tis well funny C: Come this way Giguel ! C: So that's our courtyard here I : (overall view of the courtyard) I : with cute old ladies hanging out I: they're always here I: so there's a small well... but we don't use it [smart comment...] C : and here is our wonderful staircase I : VOILA! Ilanoe's incredible staircase! C: because we live... on the 6th floor (actually 5th for all you Brits out there) I: and that's pretty cool ! C : going up... I : ...in complete darkness for that matter so you can see how very clean it is I: and against all odds it really doesn't smell that bad C: first floor... C: with little happiness inscriptions on every door I: which you might not see... C: here they put barbed wire I : 'cause it's bad to throw things out the window, because people live down there I: contrary to the other side where its a roof so of course you throw everything on it ! C: third floor... I : a sink ! I : because here you don't put stuff in the bin you tie them to the guardrail I: that's how it's done C: which is common practice, on every floor C: you see, small things lying around So 'tis the end to our wonderfull staircase sequence plan I: the entrance to our place! C : the couch cover [getting ready for couchsurfers] C: you can see that we have the biggest pile of junk, on our floor C: (our magnificent door) C : and when you go in it talks to you.... C: she's telling us that we should lock the door I: first things first : the cooker hood, and the hob... very important I: a battle-ready hood indeed... C: there's even little flowers on the hob... really girly I: wonderful I: the steam cooker, let's not forget it C: the wok... I: the wok as well C: so here there's a window overlooking the inner courtyard [the clean one yay!] C: our kitchen ! I : so this corridor leads directly to Chloe Millet... who's always here C: the toilet toilets are important so let's see it first C: highly interresting I: So this wonderful toilet that also.... I: serves as a shower C: so if you put down that small thingy here... C: Then you can have a shower I : but it's actually not as lousy as it looks, because it gives us plenty of shower space I: which again is pretty cool I: and there's always hot water, it's the only place with hot water I: but it's "good" hot water so that's great [don't ask me what i mean by that] C: then our special room that serves as a junkyard I : where we keep our awesome TCL fridge... (crazy close up sound) I: which looks like a normal fridge, but it's actually a miniature I: but it's ok it's not that full anyway C: we have cucumber! I: cucumbers are good C: here Ilan decided to put all the plants here I: yeah i'll show you later I: there was a lot on the wee balcony in the living room I: so I put them all here, to let the sunshine in [the suuuunshiiiiine in] I: a small window that overlooks the same inner courtyard as the kitchen I: So why are there computers on the washing machine? I: it's a good question I: it's because we don't have wifi yet and the modem's here... C : our great modem that dates back to .... to .... ... a long time ago I: with a user manual meant for Windows98.... yeah... So the washing machine, that doesn't really wash, but hey, we keep trying! C: and when you want to use it you have to plug all these in the toilet! I: so it's completely adjustable [AMAZING] I: and that's our amazing "anti seatless toilet" seat. that does wonders I: and that's a relief I: so that's the place for our non waterproof bathroom stuff C : the living room, which is beautiful since Ilan cleaned everything.... C: which doesn't happen that often, but.... I : LIES !!! Cats ! C: we bought pretty flowers... cause we had a pretty vase so we thought... so, the living room, with the candle corner I: of which i'm very proud, there's incense aswell C: oh you'd started burning some I: yep C: our small foldable table, C : it's the same as in restaurants, they put these on the street with small stools I : other plants over here I: with some flowers I got from a demolition site and that are going to be cool I: once I let them run on the dead bonzais AND THE FISH!!!! I : Sawyer on the right, and Des on the left C : bit we might rename them later since we suspect Desmond is actually a girl... I : oh well, we'll just see if they make babies or not... I: out huge telly, that just changed colours after two hours of scrubbing [don't expect me to write that down for you lazy ***] I : you recognize the entrance? C : so our room with the crazy HUGE mattress I: it is a very thick mattress, made entirely, with springs C : and it's not confortable at all, but luckily we have this duvet we bought this duvet and it's cool Here's Bob Dylan (important) [and his friend Pouik] C : here we have a massive wardrobe I: so massive I can barely show you C : another one here C : where we put all the *** we didn't want in the flat I : junk demo.... and if you look under the couch cover you can see the courtyard I: you can also spy on the neighbours... so that's where we came from earlier C : stop spying... I: I'm not spying! I: wait, something important We have a pole! C : SO WHAT IS THIS POLE ALL ABOUT ???? C : there's one like that in every shop in China... so here goes.... So we haven't really mastered the pole technique yet.... C : the small desk where I was writing chinese characters this morning I : it can be used for Chinese I: it's also not forbidden to study it in the living room... I : Sooo that was our flat! what else can we say about the flat? C : well... it's good! I : exactly it's cool I : and it's really nice to live here because there's nice people everywhere and the atmosphere's great C : So now we'll have some tea and some coffee.... I : and we'll go to Carrefour!! YEAHH because we are really chinese at heart! well, see you soon dear viewers! AND THANKS FOR FLYING ILANOE AIRLINES
