The construction continues at the building that's about 20 meters from my bedroom. Of course because of the heat I have to leave my tiny window open. So promptly at 9:00 AM they start what sounds like a game of pipe throwing. It sounded like they were throwing one huge metal pipe on top of a pile of metal pipes. After a few lovely minutes of that as my alarm clock, they start pounding metal with hammers. As I look out my window I see they are erecting a scaffolding. I took some pictures so you can appreciate how close this is. I'm sure most of you are thinking, 9:00 AM is late and you're probably at work by then so what am I bitching about. When I'm at home I wake up between 5:30-6:00 AM. But remember, in Spain they don't even eat dinner till after 8:00 PM. Its not uncommon to be out walking around the streets or having coffee or a beer until 1:00 AM. I don't have class until 4:00 PM and I'm only sleeping a few hours a night, so to hear this horrendous noise at 9:00 AM sucks Chef's salty chocolate balls (South Park reference).
So I come home Sunday afternoon and the Nazi superintendent has imposed a new doctrine. He posts a note on the bathroom door written in Spanish (he doesn't speak English) so I had to get my dictionary out. "Taking more than one bath a day is Prohibited". One more reason to find a new place to stay for a while.
I knew it would be a little tough not having the comforts of home but the noise, the heat, not being allowed on the trerrace after 10:00PM (not 11 which I thought) having the door to the Terrace chained and now being told I'm only allowed one shower a day, in this heat! Id rather spend a few hundred Euros more and have a little more comfort.
