I live in a studio apartment not far from the teachers’ college where my office is located. I have a neighbor to the left and right of me. They all are very nice. However, the neighbors to the right of me serve as my unofficial wake-up call service as they often start blasting Ivoirian beats as early as 6:30 am! And if it’s not the music that wakes me up, it’s the two boys (ages 2 and 4) romping around with their neighborhood friends that gets me out of my stupor.
I pay $60 USD a month to live here. Isn’t that out of this world? And no, that’s not the price after some government subsidy – it’s just that housing is cheap in my city (which is the 3rd largest in the country). If I were living, for example, in Abidjan, the capital however, my studio apartment would cost a lot more.
