I hate being vulnerable.
And not speaking the language of the country you inhabit definitely qualifies for being vulnerable.
We have been trying to get internet for almost three months now. We have to pay for a year contract regardless of the fact that we will only be here for seven months. So basically, we've been paying for something that we don't have. So we were finally told that we would get wireless internet last Friday. (I even went so far as to write it on our makeshift contract with the school; there's more miscommunication than you'd think.) So last Friday, the guy comes in and installs a cable modem. *insert gameshow buzzer that shows you've given the incorrect answer* Not what we asked for. So they apologize and say they're coming Monday. Nobody shows. So we call them and they don't speak much English and they tell us someone will come Tuesday. *gameshow buzzer again* Nobody comes. So they claim that they said Thursday and not Tuesday. Supposedly it's a language problem and not an incompetence one on their part. So today is Thursday, my housemate is sitting at home and nobody shows.
