It's that time again. After two years of moaning, whining Yemenite tenants, we're renting our cute little pad in Tel Aviv. All because of that pesky dollar business, which has meant a serious reduction in our shekel rental income (why the fuck is this country still so tied to the dollar?). The new contract is in shekels of course, and a seriously high figure was advertised (I hid behind the sofa as the missus pressed Enter to confirm the online ad's details). Didn't stop the hordes calling. 30 people turned up for the half-hour window of opportunity we setup. And 8 of those wanted to sign up on the spot. Now we're down to two options, not sure which one to go for:
- Gay couple: He's a moshavnik, and he's a regular Tel Aviv rent-boy (I'm joking). The missus assures me they are luverly, and cuddly too. Though the missus worries that moshavniks (who live on these) are "untidy".
- College boy and aspiring actress: Nice couple, in fact, way too nice there's something fishy about 'em. Her father is a big-shot CEO of the Israeli branch of a huge international corporation, and his father is a pilot...
Eeny meeny miny moe...
