Talking with My New Indian Housemate
These days, I really enjoy displaying flowers. I got a new vase, which makes my room feel more comfortable than before. I also received new Columbia trekking shoes from Amazon. They cost 90 EUR. Although they are a women’s model, they fit me well. Dutch people are extremely tall, so women’s shoes often come in large sizes. I visited the bar My Way in the evening. While I was cooking, my housemate Vanshika, a 25-year-old Indian woman, started talking to me. I told her about the situation of this house and asked why she wanted to move out from her previous place. Her former rent was 750 EUR, shared among four people. The house was managed by Iranians, but they did not live there. Therefore, when tenants requested something, the owners’ responses were not good. Her dream used to be becoming a musician, but not anymore. I was relieved to find that she is nice and quiet. For dinner, I had tofu steak and stir-fried vegetables. I fell asleep around 10 pm.
