Years of experience ready for something new!

I've lived here for 8 years and I've seen and experienced enough! The apartments are nice, but the people living in them aren't always. There are many chavs and people with alcohol and drug problems. This is unpleasant and jeopardises the safety here, and nothing is being done about it. That's why I'm eagerly waiting for the day I can move. The 250 euros would therefore come in handy to save for a house.
