Food rationing – after a careful inventory of available
food, it will be carefully portioned out at set times.
Water rationing until further notice.
We feel like celebrities, having a car and driver take us
where we need to go. Today, we went to the large Costco type store – Metro - for
some provisions. Despite being “flush”
with US cash, several credit cards, and even money on WeChat, we were dismayed
to realize that credit cards were a no, we did not expect the store to accept
our US cash, and our WeChat money requires a Chinese phone card. Fortunately,
Bob had exchanged a bit of cash at the airport in LA and we carefully and
cautiously shopped the aisles of the store for the basics.
The Captain lifted our tissue decree. No more
shopping until we can find a bank to exchange money and a phone store for
telephone cards.
Back home, we gulped our water cooler water, it is hot here.
And before we knew it we were using the very last of our water… fortunately,
water delivery is fast. The water rationing was graciously lifted by the
Captain 45 minutes later and even before our individual water bottles were
empty.
With a secure water supply, this appliance is getting heavy use
