Given that we have two (!) balcony's at the flat, they are not used enough for the main reason that we do not have any furniture. A friend of ours in town is leaving and is giving away her balcony set and we were really keen to have it! Now, the main city where she lives is 13km away... and we had no idea how on earth we were going to get it back to our place given that we don't own a car/can't rent one. And we didn't really know how big the furniture was going to be... if worst came to worst then the metro and bus would certainly have something to talk about today!

Alas the Didi app came up trumps again when ordering a 6 seater car, the driver was more than happy to put the back seats down and we managed it. This was a tight squeeze BUT it was a success. We thought that the driver would not be happy to put all the furniture into his car and basically be a delivery van, but we lucked out and our problem was solved. 
Definitely the most boring post for you to read about, but I am proud of the accomplishment and winning at China life, trust me you enjoy all these small wins here! And I will now enjoy a cup of tea (or a G&T) on the balcony whilst I blog about more exciting adventures...
