Rizhoa, city of serious opportunities

Just out of curiosity, I have to read all of the hotel information in my room.  The words are often translated to mean nothing or ? 
I did not see much of Japan, as it was raining on arrival and I was just there to get my passport stamped.  One hell of a frustrating trip, though.
In Rizhoa, China now and it is a cluster at work and at the hotelS.  Stepping into the bathroom and standing water from the toilet base aggravated me to a large degree at 3 am last night.  The management would not acknowledge it as a problem, but I could not reconcile 2-3 gallons of water appearing on the floor, or the smell it carried.  The crack in the porcelain must have been my imagination.  My biggest concern is that it wasn't ALL mine.  Plus, there was no heat on a 20 degree F night.  I wore socks to bed and left them in the room when I checked out.  They can wring them out and keep them.  The only time my feet were warm was when I showered, because the tub didn't drain and the standing water warmed the little piggys.  I am trying the other hotel tonight.  The carpet hasn't been cleaned since the 1960's, but it is warm and the toilet does not appear broken.  And it has a thermometer.
Rizhoa, city of serious opportunities, business wise and otherwise!
