COLD DARK ROOM

[ZEROPILOT]

The area I was from in South Carolina was out in the middle of nowhere, but there were places 30-45 minutes away to buy things, etc.
No garbage pickup, mail delivery or city water.
It had it's charm.

as much as i'd like to move I think id miss the police sirens as a lullaby lol. I guess as i get older the desire to move is getting stronger... just like the force

I would miss the convenience of shops etc, that being said... the area I live in was voted most deprived in Scotland before :/

ANYWHERE would be better than here

We have shops here in the medina, just sort of little convenience stores that sell everything like the old corner shops and then a market for meat, an area for veggies, another for fruit, others for jewellery, mobiles, furniture, carpets etc,
All the essentials.
It's for things you don't need (but want, sometimes) that you have to go to the new city.

Are the shops in the new city less haggle friendly?

It takes 5 minutes by taxi here, but you have to walk to the road first, which is another 5 to 10.
Garbage collected every day (except Bank Holidays) by donkey, mail by a postman on a bike, tap water's good or you can go to fountains and pumps in the streets to get spring water, if you prefer.
All good.

Well, it was the police station first, they were friendly and helpful.
Then a double cheeseburger meal in Burger King (National Double Cheeseburger day, after all, had cheese on toast earlier for National Toasted Cheese Day). Shopping was just in "la cavé" for alcohol and the home.
Not as bad as I feared.
Quite good, actually, though i'm tired now.

Yeah, most of them are fixed price, though they are often good prices or everyone would go to the medina.
The supermarket can't undercut the local shops like they do in the West, so the prices are pretty much the same, they just have more variety and luxury items.

glad it wasn't too bad the house I grew up in was actually above a shop.. and across from a pub and several fast food places, far too convenient! I think it makes me appreciate things less :/
