Visit to a local farmers house or really any house – TongGu, China

These pictures are from a local farmers house in TongGu. As you can see, they are very primitive. No heat – cement floors and well, the pictures pretty much show it all. I can truly say we are all blessed in the good old USA. In China, they do not own their home – the state decides who gets what home where… and it all depends on your social class. They sort of have a way for you to “Purchase” your social class or sort of by a house… I really do not understand. Most people do not own a car. They could afford a car but they could not afford the fuel, taxes, road toll fees – all highways are toll roads and the parking garage fees – these put the cost of owning a car out side the probability of most Chinese. Below is the kitchen – I did notice that there were no Maytag appliance and had a discussion with the owners of the farmhouse… they promised when they plan to remodel – they would check out Maytag or Whirlpool. I told them I would be back some day and check in on if they actually purchased the Maytag or Whirlpool appliances or not…
