    It seems this video has accidentally given some people the impression I don’t have an air conditioner - I do, I just miss going outside 🥲I have some bike tours planned for whenever it is tolerable to be outside again, stay tuned 🤣 If you have any questions for my 🇺🇸 Q&A video, remember to leave them in the comment section!

      Hi Katherine. I love your videos. I'm probably an uncle so I'll try to tell you something wise. Do you really own anything? Who are you waiting for to sit on that furniture and who are you waiting to see your art? Do not worry so much about things and deprogram your mind to focus on people you love including yourself. No one is judging you wrongly. You are doing and making a great job. Love you in a family way.

Currently , i stay in Shanghai and would love to visit your beautiful province and that Inn.

    I was one of the viewers of your remodeling video who cautioned you about the mold problem in the humid south. Those rugs might have been treated with fungicide, which is good for a few years. Unless you have a dehumidifier running with all windows closed, mold will, I believe, eventually take over those rugs.

    • @kats_journey_east
      @kats_journey_east  3 месяца назад

      This mold problem doesn’t exist in dry Kashgar , as far as I am aware they weren’t treated with anything because people don’t know that spontaneous mold is something that can happen at all 🍄 I’ll update you all about the mold again in a few years 🤣

    Rugs do add character to your house. As for the occasional mold attack, would fans help? Of course, it's another household appliance that some may find "ugly" to be around. I do like Country Western music. Since Zhejiang province appears to be hilly, I would think Appalachian music would be "at home" there. I highly recommend "Songs of the Hills - Instrumental Impressions of Appalachian Classics" CD.

    Against moisture you need air entry through your living room windows and air extraction in bathroom, loo, and kitchen. 2 cm clearance under doors to let air move. 35 m3/h of fresh air must enter and exit your home. You risk problems with your lungs (sarcoidosis).
