There are many interesting things and costumes that I have found out. I will try to cathegorize them and will start with the everyday living here:
There are no addresses here. So when you call a taxi, you have to tell the nearest shop and then direct him from there. Or when you want to receive letters, you should get a PO BOX. Even my big corporate office doesn’t have an address.
Public transport system is almost missing, so taxi is a public transport. Taxi ride costs normally between 0,5 to 3 eur. Our taxi ride to work is 1,5 eur for about 20 min ride.
The water doesn’t come from pipes. There is a tank on the roof of our house and the government fills the tank every Thursday and Friday.
The hot water comes through diesel tank. To heat the water you have to buy diesel and before taking a shower you have to turn the engine on.
Ground floor apartment with almost no view and sunshine is considered higher prize property than second floor. Its more comfortable and it protects you from sunshine. So it’s nice and dark inside all the time.
In next post I will write about the manners and a rather embarising way I found out about one.
