29/11

We have moved again..
Thursday a week ago we had a meeting with a representative from the appartments, and she told us that the hammering would stop the following tuesday. Thursday they were still hamering, so we got a new meeting with another representative from the appartments. Willy told her in no uncertain terms that the situation was not acceptable and a solution had to be found. We were offered a hotel room. It is much smaller than the appartment, but we decided to accept it. The hotel is after all convenienty located. We asked for some sort of compensation, Willy suggested free beer at the pool bar, but all they could offer was one free breakfast per weekend for the remainder of our stay. Well, Willy later got that changed to 100 SGD purchase at the pool bar, which is more usefull to us. But still cheap. And then the representative had the nerve to tell us that we would not be charged extra for staying at the hotel instead of in the apartment, as good news. We were hard put to stay polite.
 
And the signs shown in a shopwindow turned out not to be political - they were advertising for a 20% discount for a Brazilian waxing.
