Hacked Off Does Not Even Come Close

There was a big thunder storm yesterday. When we got home our electricity was out. I did all the usual, switched everything off, unplugged everything, tried to flick the power back on. It just continued to trip out, no matter what I did.

We contacted Mr. Oh, and he rang the landlady. It turned out that she was out of town until today. No problem we said. We were going out anyway, so it wasn't a major problem. Our food in the fridge would be ruined, but 'hey what you gonna do about it?!'

Mr. Oh said he would ring us this moring if things hadn't changed, and the electricity hadn't come back on. He was assuming wrongly, that the problem would correct itself. Well the phone call never came. It's now well into the afternoon. We are still without electricity, and have no way of getting hold of Mr. Oh at home. We do not have the landladies number. We are basically without electricity until probably Monday. We can't shower, we can't do anything. I am really, really fucking angry that we've been just left high and dry.

I mean what the hell do you do?! You are stuck in a country where you don't speak more than a few words. No-one (despite the fact that everyone learns English) speaks English. Strange twist that one. Everyone learns English, but no-one speaks English.

Anyway... Buggered we are! If he thinks we'll happily stroll into work on Monday stinking after 3 days without any electricity, then he's got another thing coming. I came to a PC Room, (where I'm now writing this from), to try and find our agent's mobile phone number. No such luck! I thought that I had it, but can only find his home number. Which I've already tried, and had no luck.

That was our last chance. We are now well and truly screwed!

Arse!
