disaster
So last night was my first night in my new apartment, and it was an absolute disaster. Sandra, the girl who lived here before me, had said that the neighbors are really great, that there were no real problems, and she was just leaving to move in with her boyfriend.
Well, no way in hell was that true. I was kept up ALL night by shouting in some obscure language from the couple next door, and then the guys across the hall came home at like 3 am, smoking so much that my apartment still smells today.
On top of all that, when I flushed the weird "sanibroyeur" toilet, it dumped water all over the floor. And the refrigerator's motor is unbearably loud.
Basically, I'm going to need to wear earplugs constantly. I'm so bummed.

Yeah, unfortunately, Paris is full of these kinds of surprises: loud neighbors, bad sound insulation, bad plumbing, and bad appliances.
Sorry to hear you're having a tough time in your new place. Usually, one gets all excited about such moves, but it's hard to enjoy it with these conditions.
