I Just Wanna Be OK
from Letters from the Atlantic Hosted by Letters from the Atlantic
My first encounter with ‘The Big Beast’ came shortly after moving into a new housing development in the Costa Blanca. Obtaining a reliable electricity and water supply were both considerable challenges, but none more so than getting a telephone. I recall standing in endless queues with other equally frustrated expats of all nationalities, and sometimes the shop closing before anyone was available to attend to our needs. I have witnessed grown men cry with anger and frustration at the sheer incompetence of trying to get a telephone line installed. © Barrie Mahoney 2012 This article is part of the book 'Expat Survival' by Barrie Mahoney.
