In my flat:
The AC doesn't work properly so it is deathly cold as all walls/floors are concrete and it is currently around 5degrees. The inside temp is the same.!
there is no shower curtain, the taps leak, the kitchen light doesn't work. also everything is dirty, but thats ok!
In Chris's flat above:
The Ac works but the water doesn't, so no toilet, no shower no water anywhere!
Eamon called us an invited us to the canteen for lunch, a massive building 3 stories high and probably 25mx25m square filled with tables, the teachers eat lunch in the reserved 3rd floor but eat dinner with the students on the first floor, crazy!
Of the 3000 students in this school half are boarding and half travel in so I guess they split their effort between the two.
After a random but fulfilling lunch we headed back with Eamon to try and sort out the flat.
After an afternoon of crazy builders and maintenance guys running around and opening all the windows!!!! eventually they left having fixed....my aircon in my room, but only in my bedroom, and that was it, but at least I can sleep warm!
In the evening we headed out to find something to eat as we still don't have identity cards, we found a small place after 20 mins of walking and finding no places with any english on their menu.
We chose a place in which we can at least point to things we recognised and managed an ok if undescribable meal full of odd fruits that tasted like eyes (and may have been) cold tofu that looked like noodles and some spare ribs that at least tasted like spare ribs! washed down with some pijo (beer), budweiser randomly!
Came back and watched a film in my (heated) room, with a few beers and some pistachio nuts!
