A call for drastic change!

Admitedly, to complain about Chinese customs that you find offensive, inconvenient, or just plain crazy is to engage in a frustrating exercise in futility. Yet there is one Chinese habit that just has to go: people take their refrigerators with them when they move.

This seems rather trivial, until you have carried a 300 pound fridge down 8 stories, taken it across town on a 3-wheeled bicycle and then carried it back up another 5 flights of stairs. And the worst part is, the people who moved out of my apartment before me likely did the exact same thing in the other direction!

Now how can we get 1.5 billion people to go along with this plan? I will think about it this as I nurse my herniated disks back into place...


Standing tall as a monument to our manliness...

Ryan, this is true in California too.. most apartments are rented without refrigerators.

Are you sure about that? I've lived in 4-5 apartments in California and each came with a fridge.
