This morning, I paid my annual property management fee for 2025. It covers maintenance of communal areas of the apartment building, electricity in communal areas and elevators etc. Also, my water. It wasn't a lot - just short of $150 USD equivalent. A few minutes ago someone turned up at my door with this.

A 5 kg sack of 香米 (xiāng mǐ), literally 'fragrant rice. It is locally grown. A 'thank you' for paying the above (although I bet I paid for it really. Or perhaps I shouldn't be so cynical?).

 

Also, early in the day I received a ¥100 voucher from Taobao (China's Amazon-like on line shopping site) for having spent most of my pension through them! That's $13.74 at today's exchange rate. Still.
