New accommodation

We have loved our flat here in Arabank but we will need to find new accommodation.  When we first came here there was a small garbage dump at the corner of our street but as time has gone on it has grown bigger and bigger.  The people who work in dump, go through all the rubbish with their bare hands sorting recycling  out.  Apparently, they are very tough characters, and have recently bashed up 10 people near here.  No one will complain about the smell or the way they have completely blocked our street.  Every time we come home in a taxi, the street is full of foul smelling trucks, and these vehicles and bags of rubbish are moving closer to the house.  There are lovely houses in this street and it must be terrible for real estate values.  Its all about "location, location"  We had a house in mind, but the owner wants to sell not rent.  We are very sad about leaving here and it is very comfortable, is close to the things we need to be close to, and we have many happy memories of our time here with our beautiful Nepali teachers, and our Aussie teams, our nice little gate keepers family and their two little boys, Onus, and Monus  (the whole family lives in one tiny room about the size of a small single bedroom.)  We would like to see first hand any building we move into.  We don't want someone else deciding for us, but time has beaten us so we will have to see what happens.
