decibel
if someone asks me today to describe our place in one word, i’d probably choose noisy. somewhere to the left of our flat, a new building is rising; somewhere below there is a wake and there are gongs-and-drums going off every so often. for some reason, the grounds cleaning crew also decided to cut grass today, which adds an equally irritating whirring accompaniment to the music. the flat above us is undergoing renovations, and another from the block to our right seems to be intent on breaking down an entire wall with a borer (mesothelioma, anyone?). a block away, there’s construction going on for a new mrt station, and our next door neighbor’s 2-year old brat is screaming his head off as he is wont to do every single time he is let out of the flat (don’t ask me why).
after having lived in germany for nearly 7 years, i think my eardrums are experiencing shock.
