Sitting at home, messing about on the computer when...my power dies. Ah, must be a fuse methinks. Wrong. I'm out of power, which in China means I have to go to the local power office and buy some more electricity. Which normally wouldn't be a problem, except that the lazy b@stards who usually only work five hours a day have taken the entire week off for the Chinese New Year. So there I am, waiting for three days in absolute darkness (at least at night) until the power office opens. Had to go buy a flashlight and batteries at a conbini so I could see my way around.
And China's supposed to be the next economic powerhouse...
Yeah, right.
