Our water's back!

We finally had running water yesterday; I found out last night that they were able to lift the water gate (it was in about 120 meters of water). It was nice to be able to take a real shower after all those days...

Taichung Stinks!

But it's not our fault...

In Taichung many of us have gone for over 5 days without running water (since the morning of July 6). Seems the dam that supplies most of Taichung's water (at "Carp Lake" 鯉魚潭) has had problems with a water gate that was damaged by flooding. But supposedly we'll have water tomorrow... or Monday... or Tuesday...


At any rate, this news doesn't seem that important to the Taipei Times or the Taiwan News, as far as I can tell.
