What's this, you ask? Perhaps a late night at Houhai, the nearby lake? A little house on a peaceful river? NOPE, it's our hutong! I suppose nobody has any perspective on what our neighborhood looks like (whoops, sorry about not posting any pictures earlier - we'll get on that), so: I took this picture standing in our doorway. Straight ahead is a neighbor apartment, to the right is Derek's kitchen (it's not attached to the house), and to the left is another neighbor apartment.
Here are some more pictures, with flash this time:
Standing in the doorway, turned to the left. Note the enormous rain drops and the rapidly rising water.
To the right this time. This is Derek's kitchen.
I was afraid that the apartment was going to flood! Perspective-wise, this is looking straight down at the door jamb and the rising waters. This was relatively early in the night, and it got worse as time went on. But the apartment stayed relatively dry. (And sorry, Mom, it's pretty much impossible to keep the door jambs clean here. :) Trust me, I've tried.)

These raindrops are amazing. We need rain here- the grass is yellow and my vegetables are small, but still the drought persists.
