We've shared a lot. The crappy pipes. The toilet from space. The irritated lady downstairs. I'm going to miss the view of the Eiffel tower, the skylight, the 118 stairs, and the crowds in front of the Bataclan. I'm feeling a tinge of sadness. The next time I live in Paris, I want to live near Oberkampf. It's a great neighborhood. Sniffles.
On other news, the landlord took out over 200 euros from my security deposit. Apparently the bed was no longer in prefect condition. So upset! That place was spotless. I totally felt walked on. That constant, on at least a weekly basis, horrible gut feeling was one of the reasons I wasn't sure I wanted to return to Paris. I hate feeling used and helpless! Worst feeling in the world. On top of that, it cost 55 euros to forward my mail. And it will probably cost another 200 for electric as there's a difference of 2000 units between EDF's estimation and the actual meter reading. Great! The person with little money and no job will be dishing out around 500 euros to France... leaving me with two student loans to pay ($600), insurance to buy ($600) as well as several other moving around the world costs.
The breakdown?
Actual Security Deposit: 1140 euros (was supposed to be my income for the rest of 2008)
Security Deposit Received: 919 euros
Things are not adding up. I need a miracle. I cannot wait to be NOT poor again.
So goodbye Oberkampf! And good riddance! ...I mean that in the best of ways.
