the perks:

There is a person to do every job imaginable here...



  • After our clothes are washed and dried Z or myself take them to our corner press walla who irons them with an old school coal heated press.

  • Our house helper R comes every morning for two hours. She washes dishes, dusts, cleans the floors, unclogs pipes, exterminates bugs...there is not much that she does not do.

  • Fruit and vegetable vendors come to our neighborhood daily. I literally walk out my gated garage and grocery shop.

  • There is a neighborhood milk man, but he does not deliver cow milk...instead it is unpasteurized water buffalo milk...am I weird for liking the taste of it?

  • Our home security system, a guard who patrols the neighborhood at night...while patrolling he either bangs a drum, rings a bell, or blows a whistle. I am not sure what the reasoning is behind the noise but I get pretty ticked when it wakes me up at night.
  • I have a tailor who makes all my clothes...I personally think he does a fabulous job!

The livin' ain't bad, ain't bad at all...
