Countdown Day 3: China Post

China Post is the Chinese equivalent of the U.S. Postal System. While their package handling skills could use some improvement, I can say that we have received (eventually) every package that was sent to use from family in the U.S.

One of great things about living here is the lack of mail that we get. When we do receive items, it's usually something important: a package from home, a bill, a post card. We don't get nearly the amount of junk mail that we receive in the U.S. I empty our mailbox about once a month (if that), and I only ever have a handful of items to deal with. This is fabulous.

The postal workers have official vehicles just like U.S. postal workers do. Except in China, the vehicles are of the two-wheeled variety. Here is the "mail truck" for the postal worker who delivers mail to our compound:
