Perpetual Construction- Ting, ting, ting...

Sure, I use my blog a lot as my outlet to vent, but this has to be the most annoying thing about Brazil to me that I will never, ever, ever, ever....(get the point) miss: the incessant perpetual construction everyday. The apartments are all made of steel enforced cement, so when construction takes place, it is a loud banging that echoes throughout the building and imagine if you are right next to it, and there is always someone fixing or reforming something.

 For the past two months there has been a rhythmic bang, bang, ting, ting, bing, bing constantly everyday starting at 9:30 am from my neighbors apartment. Not only can I not sleep in, I can't concentrate on my studies, and the sounds is so maddening that it automatically raises my blood pressure. Every other day I complain downstairs to the doormen, but there is nothing they can do, since it is within the owner's right to make reforms and undergo projects outside of the "hour of silence", that doesn't really exist here also.

So the moral of the story is, I pay rent to be able to study, read, enjoy myself around the house, live and I can't even cook or do laundry sometimes because of all the banging. Livid at this point. Watch out construction workers!!! Just kinding, but seriously annoyed!
