Hello world!
In this message we would like to inform you of a small change of program. No no let's not go we in France do not panic! We're just going ... redéménager! Indeed
Saturday, when we sleep we have been unpleasantly surprised to hear the humming fridge (which is 1.5 m from us!) So we turned off in the hope of sleeping peacefully. Only a few minutes after that we had the pleasure of getting to know a third tenant: The boiler!! (3m of us) Now, a boiler does not even rate a human life. No, a boiler wakes up every fifteen minutes during Braille 10/15 min, falls asleep and begins its cycle at infinity!
short our first night was very short, despite the earplugs! We actually put us to sleep at 2:00 and Nico woke several times because of boiler Madam!
Having not paid the rent we had to make a decision very quickly (during the 2 hours that we could not sleep so the noise was unbearable!): Stay or go? Yesh
because there was not what ultimately only drawback. When we visited, we must admit, we were not quite looking at things .... Woe to us! Thus the bed is very old, creaky and totally uncomfortable (ask the shoulders screaming Nico!) The apartment is dirty and there is a hole next to the toilet which regurgitates odors.
It's good you get the picture? Also you will understand our need to leave (and our shame too ... how could anyone choose such a thing ?????)
short, we called our parents to have their opinion, we think, we turn the problem into all directions and ultimately we seek new offers!
And there ... incredible! Someone responds very quickly and offers us a visit for a roommate, less than 24 hours after we moved (yes with the budget we have is that to which we ultimately must turn it over and We join the world and speak English).
So we went one Sunday evening in the freezing cold for a visit. Explanation: This is
roommates in a big house like "Auberge Espagnole" with people of the 4 corners of the world. We offer a large bedroom upstairs (the quietest place in the house because there are only 2 bedrooms and a bathroom to share with 3.) Of course we asked if the current tenant There was noise at night! We will also have access to the kitchen and laundry room, both very modern!
This house is located in Gatineau, but much closer to downtown Ottawa, it is say 10/15 minutes by bus (also accessible on foot or by bicycle when it will be warmer!)
Everything is included for $ 685 or 500 euros per month.
And here we think this time we thought! We considered all the points one by one the most and least!
But given the second here last night the decision was immediate: bye bye basement!
We therefore paid only one week here, explaining our problem to the owner (like they did not look surprised!?) We will have to formally announce that their part (normally Saturday! ).
That you know everything! Oh no, the done! It is a laptop was Canadian! And Gaëlle
had another answer for a job in 18 minutes by bus from our new apartment!
soon!
