在中国房子一般有很多家具！ 比如沙发，冰箱，床，电视机，等等。 在厨房有瓦器，炊具 - 很奇怪。

Welcome to ChinesePod BTW - haven't seen you here before.

I am aware of machine translators - they serve a limited purpose in my view. Or I can look up my dictionary. :) In reality I do communicate about each of the items in my list anyway .. for better or worse. So......., the main point of my post is to generate some conversation, it is a better context for learning the language than looking up dictionaries - that is the beauty of ChinesePod. Secondly, I want if possible to snag new terms, or better still the actual words used by native speakers that may not appear in a dictionary; this way I may pick up a correction or update to my vocab, or even a regional difference.

]]> <![CDATA[By: changye]]> It seems it's not an easy job to find an apartment you like in China, even if you have enough money. You have to consider some factors that Western people usually don't care about, such as 风水 (feng-shui) and 迷信 (superstitions). Here is a hilarious article on why a couple, an English husband and a Chinese wife, ended up failing to purchase an apartment, which I read yesterday.

当然有问题。  去年租公寓的厨房没有电饭煲。我们抱怨。公寓经理说

这儿的公寓都没有电饭煲。我们不相信，然后读公寓广告：Modern European Kitchen.  糟了。 欧洲人不必用电饭煲！

]]> <![CDATA[By: cjhawk7]]> Anyone know if there is a term for private shower, or not just a shower head on the wall and a hole in front of the toilet. I might just be a little spoiled having had a room where the shower was enclosed and separated from the rest of the bathroom, but thats probably one of my biggest gripes with Chinese apartments.

Also, how much do dryers typically jack up the e-bill? They\'re a rare sight in the southwest, but if its cheap enough I might look into it.
