Camilla has an office. We were hanging out in it the other night, and she put a small, thin device into the water and plugged it into the wall.
A water heater. The exact name, I’m not sure, but it’s necessary because the water here is not safe to drink unless boiled.
As it bubbled and made strange noises, Camilla made an offhand remark.
Camilla: It’s very dangerous.
It is easy to get electrocuted using that?
Camilla: No. In Shanghai, it caught fire and burned down a dorm. We have to watch it.
This is just a laowai’s opinion, but decent water sanitation or hell, even a stove and a pot would make things a lot simpler. Again, just a dancing laowai’s opinion.
