My English teacher asked me, “did you find a new flat?” I said, “I had to find it last month, because I need to work. It’s a room in a barbershop. I can sleep at night after the customers and barber leave.”
The advantage is no one disturbs at night. At least I can sleep (before I couldn’t). I hope there are no other stories. Too many stories during the past ten years.
She said, “That sounds absolutely horrendous, it must be so frustrating and make it hard for you to trust people or feel settled in your living space.” I said, “it’s okay! There are a lot of good people around me.”
I thought the barber’s advantage is his silence. There is a saying, “compare to blind massage, we need mute barber more”. But one day he said, “It’s time to do your hair. Too long and too much white hair.” The only advantage disappeared.
