This afternoon I've seen two rooms for ten thousand rupees a month. The first was horrible, if it hadn't been for the fact that it was on the roof I would have walked straight out and not asked questions. The location was okay, a little far out from IHC, but nice all the same. Very homely. I saw a vision of myself getting veg from the man wheeling it round in the street. However, it wasn't to bed.
The second was nearer to Alka, and better, but it was unfurnished and he wanted to charge me 2,000 more for just putting a bed in it. He told me it was a new apartment but it clearly wasn't. I will upload some photos later on in the week to prove the fact.
As a result of me mentioning the fact that I was looking for apartments to the Hotel, they have offered me a reduced rate if I pay in advance. And actually, after seeing the rooms today, I feel like I'm not really paying out too much there. The rooms are good and the ensuites are great. There're so many great restaurant around AND its so near the metro. I've realised that I mainly wanted to leave because it would be nice not to just be living the tourist life. But to all intents and purposes I am a tourist. Just a working, long staying one.
The cricket is on in Alka and Mandy's house, its great. I have a subject I can talk to almost every Indian about!
