flying back into my cage

[amw]

I hate the free hotel my work gave me. I mean, it's nice that there is a shower cubicle and that they provide you with separate hand soap and shampoo and body wash. It's nice there is hot water. But the staff are hopeless. They refuse to understand my spoken Chinese, even when i ask very simple questions like what day i'm supposed to check out. It'

I'm not 'getting' this outside wet room thing and that cage looks like an invitation to drop wet clothes on the street. I need to do some research. Thanks for making my world bigger than it would be otherwise!

Sorry, I think I explained it poorly

About that cage.... I'm trying to imagine walking out there on those metal "floor planks" (is that actually what you do, or am I mistaken??) and hanging clothes without losing one's balance. They seem so far apart with a long way down. If you had any propensity to vertigo, that would be the place to get it! And - how do you secure the clothes so they don't drop to the ground? Clothes pins of some kind? Sorry if I haven't understood!

I'd be very interested to see what these wet rooms are like - your kitchen / bath area! It's been difficult to picture in my head.

The view out of the cage is quite a nice cityscape. I'd enjoy that! :)

Great questions! First, here is a wider angle view that I think will help you to understand better. You can even see a bit of my neighbor's cage too.

ahhhh gotcha and yeah, when you are at Walmart, see if you can find some netting to cover the bottom of your cage :)

But, now, between the second picture and your description, I got it. Interesting set up and one that actually makes sense.

That netting was a great idea, by the way, but i was't able to find any at Walmart. The Walmarts here are a little bit different from the ones in America in that they appear to be more focused around the grocery store and fresh food section. They still have an "everything else" section with clothes, toys, homewares and so on, but the hardware selection is very limited. Unfortunately all the actual hardware stores in my neighborhood were closed for Spring Festival, so i hope to find something now they are reopened!
