Having something fixed in China is an interesting experience. The flush valve on my toilet has been broken for awhile. It still worked, but you had to push down a little button. With my wife coming to visit I pushed to have it fixed.
So the repairman showed up to fix it last night. With no tools, just the part. And it didn't fit. So he had to borrow my Leatherman (as I really don't have any other tools) to fix it. And this was actually a good experience as these things do. It only took one visit. Repairmen often show up with no tools. The next visit show up with tools, but no parts. Third visit tools and parts, the wrong parts. It took one of the guys here 3 months to get his kitchen sink fixed. This is the only place I know of where things go like this, uniquely Chinese.
