Woman uses motorhome for son to sleep 20 minutes longer
Original source: 新浪网

A woman in China bought a motorhome so her high school son could sleep 20 minutes longer. She parks it in a park near the school, paying 10 yuan a day for parking. She says it is cheaper than renting an apartment: renting for three years would cost over 200,000 yuan, while the motorhome cost 200,000 yuan and can be resold for nearly half the price.
