I hear the wheels and the rumbling of the cleaning lady's cart.......
|My Blok D Nightmare
Last month I paid 7,700 Czech Crowns
for what is, in effect, a modest (but noisy) apartment. (Not a luxury apartment---a small, recently painted, clean, but very noisy apartment, where I have no privacy and am inspected when I come or go---inspected by a woman sitting at the front door behind a glass booth.....)
It is clean, but it does not actually
have a stove---only a hotplate.
But it is a two-room apartment.
For the price, I could easily rent a
decent private flat. (If I had the time to look.....)
But, to add insult to injury (to add
Capitalist greed/austerity to a communist lack of privacy plus
communist austerity) I've just learned that I can't even have an
overnight guest---unless I pay more!
That minimum level of privacy is not
available to me----even though I paid 7,700 Crowns.
They figure that two students could
live in this room--after all, it's got two (primitive) beds---and they are (therefore) losing money when I'm here all by myself!
Two students because it's got two
beds!---two primitve communist beds accompanied by TOO SHORT
inadequate bed clothes---I often wake up at six am with cold feet because the periny do not cover my feet---- not to mention the TINY COMMUNIST AUSTERITY
bath towels!
The worst possible combination:
Capitalist austerity/greed plus never-dying communist habits!
Heaven forbid the University should
miss a chance to make a couple of extra crowns from a student or
teacher! Now that would be a crime!
What a bunch of *****!!!!!**** cheapskates!
