We are trying to find an apartment to move into, and it is turning out to be a headache. All the ones we liked have turned out to be in buildings where there are legal glitches. One of our potential landladies seems to be quite the dragon lady, who keeps sending us terse messages in the queen's English by email! Doesn't she realise how off-putting that is for potential tenants?
That's another thing. The language of the people is really soft and serene. I like it! They also speak English in this nice and serene way, and in a very sing song voice. Takes a bit of getting used to, but not harsh on the ears.
We don't use the ac much during the day. Leave the balcony doors open. It's lovely to have a view of the sea. I'll have to upload some of my pictures soon, but the housing search is keeping me so busy!
Went to the bank yesterday by hotel taxi. Kept him waiting for one hour while we finished off basic bank stuff! The bank manager even presented me with a rose and took a picture. They were apparently having a customer appreciation week or something like that. That was quite funny. My daughter who is 4 was quite envious and she kept complaining how they'd only given her a small chocolote bar and me a nice big rose!
