Today’s move in day. When I signed the lease, I was told that I wouldn’t be able to move in until sometime not in the morning. Once I woke up this morning, I headed over to the apartment to inquire about what time I could move in; I figured it was negotiable and I wanted to move in early, so I could buy anything I needed at the markets. I entered the gate and out came the landlord’s family. This is the conversation, with better grammar and without the numerous hand gestures.
Me: what time can I move in?
Family: Four.
Me: One?
Family: Tomorrow.
Me: No, I have to work tomorrow. It must be today.
Family: Not repaired yet.
Me: hmm... ok, two?
Family: Oh, the people (presumably the current tenants) are not at the airport then. Six.
Me: Four?
Family: Ok
So I guess I’m moving in at 4.
