Tzeporah 14

Of course we stay at an apartment hotel, with kitchenette with stove and half size fridge. No one can afford restaurant meals here.
It's a peacable place, cops float around without guns.
We read the paper everyday, ridiculous stuff shows like so and so fined $5 for swearing at the police. The biggie employer, sugar, runs a weekly column naming and shaming the litterbugs. Proof positive - paystubs littering the yard.
We enjoy it while we can. There is of course no hope of staying here. Their Immigration only accepts the rich.
And so it is we return to the real world or what masquerades as such.
Already I see future problems. As in she wants to do a lot of these trips. And yes they are nice, but not really worth the hassle, harrassment and boredom of those term hitches at Revenue to pay my share.
