“Does anybody use this place?” J- enquired.
“Yeah, all the time”.
“But the barbeque is so clean”
“I’m the cleaner” he replied and set to with a cloth, removing traces of dust that were drifting in from a nearby construction site.
“The last three weeks it’s been quiet” he continued, “before that it was very bad.
Lot’s of people break bottles. Break the doors. They come for 3 weeks.
The security guys they are just sleeping.
If they catch them they get 1 month jail.”

“Do you like this place?” she asked.
“It’s very expensive here, one lady she tell me it cost $4-500,000 for one apartment.
I don’t live here though, my home is in Reservoir. I just catch the train. It stops just over there.”
