A New City

This follows on from The End of the Train Trip. It has come in at 3,479 words.

After spending the night in an actual bed I breakfasted with Master Que in the hotel’s restaurant. There had to be better ways of serving smoked fish with rice than they had in their breakfast buffet and I resolved to find out what they were. To add insult to injury, ( Read more... )

The housing tour so reminds me of my own search for a new home some years ago. :)

Looks like Nai will have an interesting year in the university!

Ina good way one hopes. :)

Eee Nai, standing up to those jerks!!

The house-hunting reminded me of some of mine, too.

rix_scaedu February 7 2016, 15:39:43 UTC

Well, one particular jerk.

Heh, fun. I bet Quiao Tao reminds Master Que of himself. I wonder if we'll see more of him. The gi tournaments ought to be fun, too.

One typo, when they first get in Mr Han's car: "that wouldn’t have been put of place in such a person." Put should be out.

The typo has been fixed, thank you for the catch.

Oh, man, real estate shopping. All sorts of hassle. I've had it go quickly, and I've had it take a long time, and never has it been pleasant. The estate sale seems the most promising of the lot, but there's a lot of room for better even there.

I have to wonder who has the wrong information with that student rental, and whether there's any possibility that that path is now a permanent, legal right-of-way because it's been in use for so long.

Nai can get a loan big enough from the bank to buy somewhere but I never said it would be enough for a really good place. :)

First home purchase and all that. Also she's sort of confined herself to the student housing districts....

The estate sale house sounds like the best of the choices -- prospects of repeated flooding I'd consider Right Out -- but I am curious about situation with the former gatekeeper's house.

I like Master Kung, too. :)

rix_scaedu February 8 2016, 08:07:03 UTC

Yes, Master Kung emerged from his office and sort of happened....didn't he? :)

And someone is presumably going to buy the former gatekeeper's house, aren't they?

kelkyag February 8 2016, 15:15:53 UTC

Yes, but it may not be anyone Nai knows, or on her route anywhere if she picks a different place. We'll see! :)

rix_scaedu February 8 2016, 17:09:46 UTC

All true!
