Is there running water in the Chinese countryside?
Ya, you run to get it.
For all the progress China has made, many rural homes have no piped water. Consider, above, ye old pump house, from a farming village in Hunan Province, China. Pumping your water is still the norm.
My part-time apartment is not quite as rustic. There’s running water, but no hot water. I’m not complaining: Life, as always, is an adventure.














Whe I was a kid we pumped water too, though I lived in the city of Calcutta! Was a whole lot of fun! The water used to be so cold and fresh! And how have you been, Stevo?
AJ! How are you? I’ll send you an email.
I lived in a place where we had to haul water, for about two years. It’s way over-rated.
