Normally, when you call for more water, they just use your phone number to tell where you live, but it doesn't work that well for us. Saffron ordered water today, and left me to make sure someone was home when it arrived. Normally, it will arrive here after a couple hours, depending on when you order.
For some reason, however, our water always ends up going to Dane's place. Twice now that we've ordered more it has been delivered to him. I was actually on the phone with him when it got there.
Me: I'll take you to the package place later. It's easy to give directions there, but hard to find.
Dane: Ok. Hold on, there's someone coming up the stairs. I just buzzed them in.
Me: It's probably my water. Saffron ordered some today. I bet it got delivered to your place by accident.
Dane: Yeah. It's a guy with water. I'll try and direct him to your place. *Inaudible Chinese* There. Hopefully he'll be at your place in a bit.
He got here about 15 minutes later, looking somewhat annoyed. Probably from climbing up and down the six flights of stairs to Danes place. That's twice now that this has happened. I think I'll start keeping count until it stops.

Did you tell them your address?
Because when I was in Xi'an last month, I always tell them my address whenever I call them
I don't know. My roommate ordered the water.
hahahahahaha! What a smusing story! It's fun to read Americans's blog storied about China.
Not sure why that guy could find your apartment either. You might want to write it down in Chinese to show him when you see him next time.
