Our Apartment

We like our apartment, which is good, since we have used this same apartment on 3 visits here. It could probably do with a coat of paint to liven it up but it has two bedrooms, one en-suite, separate shower room and kitchen and living room with balcony.

We are on the 13th floor and view the endless high rise blocks of this enormous city of 13 million. It is set in a small area which has a swimming pool and security gates, manned 24/7.

We have not met the neighbours but we know something about them. One cooks fish on an almost daily basis. I therefore suspect that they're a revolutionary group, opposed to things Argentinian. You rarely see fish on any menu (strange for a port) and it is expensive. Fortunately our front door fits well so the smell does not get into the apartment.

Another neighbour practices the drums. There seems no purpose in this although he/she might be undermining the love of music in this country. I have tried to move to his drumming and feel like an uncoordinated android. There is no rythymn but an occasional, perhaps every 17 hits with the drumstick, crash of a cymbal. Maybe studying for NVQ level 1, although failure seems inevitable. We are thankful that he does not practice at night.
