Temecula

What have we got ourselves into?

The first night here in an apartment full of boxes and 'stuff' we could heat the neighbour's cough, banging of doors and similar sounds. Surely the place has walls that are too thin. Considering that everything was of that superb Chinese quality that you can depend on, we though we got ourselves into deep trouble.

Luckily it turned out not so bad but it's still does not compare favourably with the previous place. The balcony is nice. We lost a desk while unloading: the piece of junk just fell apart and now we have no desk. Because of French window and "kitchen", if you can call it that, there would not be a place for it anyway. I don't like junk in the middle of the room. I like plenty of space.

I will tell you a little bit about Temecula. We found a little brochure about Temecula and it was so overhyped in the old days that now we suffer the consequences. The town is no more and no less as a typical new American town, which means lots of housing development, shopping centers or rather conglomerates of shoppig centers and , surprisingly, patches of undeveloped land among them. We drove for about 3 miles and all that time there were nothing but shopping centers, one right after another.

There are a few factories in town, which hopefully provide people here with jobs. But we don't know for sure, it seems illegal Mexicans found their ways even here. People here in general seem rather aloof and not very friendly.
