Apartment blocks in China can be 9 high with out a lift. My Wifes city Xi-an, they are installing external lifts to the old apartment blocks at a cost of 20,000yn per apartment. (nz4,000) Naturally the ground and 1st floor don't want to pay. I lived in my Wifes apartment , 6th floor for 1 year and you do get fit climbing all those stairs sometimes up to 3/4 return trips per day.. harder still when you have a crate of long necks I soon learnt to just buy a couple bottles per trip when required ? ( nz 40cents per bottle) Most of the apartment's I'm talking about are Gov built for Gov employees, of which there are many..
