You're right, Gerge, for a Shandonger to make fun of others for being "poor peasants" IS pretty funny!  bfbfbfbfbf ahahahahah ahahahahah

But at least up there you guys can rely on the good ol' Yellow River for your water. For several more weeks, at least.  uuuuuuuuuu

There must be something good coming for me in the future if i have to go through this now.

Ah, no... uuuuuuuuuu

But my sympathies Bugalugs - been there, done that. No water for about six weeks whilst daughter was only a six/seven year old and my then pregnant friend (with a bad case of morning sickness) was staying with us. At least we had a long-drop though and there was also the ocean to dive into at the end of each day.

See, look on the bright side, everything might stink of chlorine but at least you can still flush your loo. jjjjjjjjjj

But after a few days, you get used to not washing...and then on the weekend you can take your sweet aroma to the boys in Suzhou.

Think positive Bugs. Since you can't wash clothes, well it's time to go shopping!

Bugs,
 Hope the ordeal for you and the other 2.2+ million in the urban core ends soon.
George and Stil have a postive tack but new clothes don't cover up the essence unless you get a wet suit and while drinking beer doesn't actually quench thirst and bathing in it would just draw flies.  amamamamam

Thanks for the pictoral essay. I'll make sure these environmental engineering faculty with whom I work have them to share with those who say, "oh that could never happen to a city water supply."

BTW, it made the China Daily. An article and three pictures of no water in a market.

Is there any relief in sight Bugs? And have you managed to find that ever elusive shower yet?  ;)

It seems that the canal between the Yangtze(?) river and Taihu was open so it flooded the lake and solved the problem. I'm not entirely convinced so i am still waiting for the lovely lads down Suzhou way to allow me to use their water to shower. So far wet wipes and lots of deodorant have been the way to go.
