As you guys noted in past posts, I am not suffering here, although I am not very comfortable either, there are things that I had to do to have a better time, things I had to change and things I stopped doing.
Food was never an issue, although water is, there is no place to refill a 20 litters jug near here, so I have to buy 10 litters ones when I go to the mall, but since I don't have a car, it is a pain to bring it here, most times I prefer to pay a cab since it is more convenient, and most times it only costs a little more than taking a bus.
Now, that is with drinking water, I could use tap water but it smells way too much like chlorine to my taste, so it isn't a choice, although I use it for making tea, I just need to boil it and ready.
As of now, I don't have a bed, when I got here I was sleeping in a sofa, and to make it worse, it is a hard one, so it was really screwing up my back. I had some money to buy a new mattress but since I was going to start working till the 29th, I decided to save it and bought an inflatable mattress, which was ten times cheaper, and isn't that bad, although, since it is made out of plastic, it becomes way to hot in the night, so sometimes it is hard to fall sleep.
But nothing compares with this thing, the thing that I hate the most is that it feels that every street is slippery, so if I have my shoes instead of my snickers, I always have the feeling that I am going to slip and kill myself... well, not that tragic, but I do have to be careful when walking.
Other than that, it has been a great experience, and I really like not having all the things I had in Juarez, it really feels great living on my own and having a good paying job.
it seems like you made a good decision to move!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks man, but those little things are temporary. With the job you got now, little by little you will fix all those things!
ReplyDeleteBut i bet it's all worth it!
