Next day started slow. Viny, as ever, buzzing around cleaning the apartment. N&N having a set too, as ever. I helped a bit.
One of the local community phoned and arranged to meet up. He arrived very quickly. It turned out that he lived 200 metres away. He invited us all for lunch at the beautiful apartment he was borrowing. Met up with friend of his that is starting a school. Education is a big thing. It seems to be the business to be in here.
In the afternoon, we went to the university to case the joint and meet with an estate agent who would show us some flats. It was soooo hot and humid – I just couldn’t cool down. The first apartment we saw was a bit grotty but had good vibes. Also it was near the beach but that had nothing to do with it – honestly. I could imagine living there. The rest of the apartments we saw that day were awful. (pic of me trying to catch a breeze by the window)
Went home and sat in the shower. The cold water is not cold enough but at least you don’t stick to everything for an hour or so afterwards. Then we went out for a meal. We noticed that most people here don’t have much of a kitchen. It is cheaper to eat out. There are probably at least 1000 eating places within a km of here. How are we ever going to sample them all.
