Broken Flat

As of this morning the following things have gone stupidly wrong with out flat

We have no working television
We have no hot water
The water we do have is brown and sludge like
Our toilet is leaking all over the floor
The toilet will not flush
I just used the toilet prior to realizing this

I now have to go downstairs and try to communicate this to our Cantonese landlord. I am praying that I will not have to resort to some type of mime action to get the message across. I am also praying that I get the toilet to flush before anyone arrives.

Wish me luck.

We also now have a new TV with sound that works. Tomorrow night a man is coming to sort out the leaking toilet. All in all a rather productive morning!
