...five different channels, rather reliable hot water, and furniture that typically serves its purposes, along with a plodding washing machine down the hall. Sure, the room also came outfitted with permanently-there hairballs on the randomly-chosen rugs, belching pipes, a well-entrenched lard-like slime colony on the bathroom floor, and a central bathroom drain that sends the smells of several other toilets wafting up near mine. As long as I have flip-flops lashed to my feet, though, it’s quite tolerable. For 20 hours of classroom time per week, I earn 4,000 yuan...

The first song, which Darin had written in 12 minutes, begins with water-bubble sounds, cueing its novelty nature; but it had drive and its narrator?s tough-guy befuddlement at finding "a party going on" outside his bathroom.

In the anteroom of bathing rooms, disrobe and wash vigorously under the showers. Only when spotless can you soak...
