Around my apartment

Today, let me show you all around my apartment. I will take you on the road (downhill) to where I can find shops, food and also Transport to work.


Time to go out from this scary and dark stairs... and get outside...


Told you all my apartment is near to a FREE GYM. Hahahah... Here are the GYM set. Complete to give a good workout to every part of the body.


Take a closer look at the 'sets'. You can do Push Ups... Body Twisting... Bicep and Tricep workouts.... Sit ups... and Running... It is far more complete that those we have in Youth Park Penang...

But there is one problem. It is so cold !!!! Anyway, let's walk on.

I need to walk downhill thru this Heating Factory. I don't know the real term for this building/factory but basically what it does it during winter (or cold nights below 0 degrees celcius) This factory will burn Coal and boil a huge amount of liquid (I think is water) and these will be pumped in pipes to the apartments nearby to heat up the air. (Central Air Heater)... Something like that.


Here is another view of the Factory. This is provided by the government and I think we need to pay some fee... A small fee to keep warm during winter.. Kinda worth it as I heard it heats up the temp to nearly 30 degrees. (That's average malaysian weather). hahahah


After passing the factory, it is very near to the main road now. There are a lot of shops on both sides of the road. Hair Saloon, Food Stalls, RMB2 shop, Internet Cafe, Hardware shops.. and all types all stalls. It is really easy to get things at this part of the town.


Here are some stalls, selling magazines, Camera items, cheap stuff like key chain, torchlights, food (BBQ Meat, Buns, Fried stuff, cakes, fruits and so on)


Well, we are here at the Train station now (Like our LRT in Malaysia). Only RMB 1.00 (RM0.50) to get to anywhere. Very comfortable and affordable. Taxi to the office from here will be RMB 20.00 (RM 10.00).

Alright.. Going to office now..

The free GYM is by the road. That thing that looks like a bus stand are actually Information Bill Board from the Government on health care. Like what we see on Hospital Posters.
