The
woman
owner
lied,
cheated
and
even
physically
assaulted
me.
Here's
how
it
went
....On
my
second
day
we
agreed
on
staying
on
a
monthly
rate,
to
include
exclusive
use
of
an
unused
kitchen.
Also
promised
was
a
mosquito
screen
on
the
window/door
because
strangely
Sri
Lanka
is
the
only
tropical
country
I
know
of
that
doesn't
do
this.
They
actually
volunteered
to
do
it,
saying
it
would
take
2
hours
-
I
was
told.
Anything
I
wanted,
they
said.
6
days
later,
after
every
day
it
being
'just
another
2
hours',
having
to
walk
long,
steep
distances
for
every
meal,
an
ineffective
Homer
Simpson
screen
was
finished...and
the
kitchen
not
even
started.
It
was
becoming
clear
that
the
woman
resented
having
agreed
to
do
anything
I
had
requested.
She
just
wanted
my
money
to
pay
her
car
insurance.
So,
at
this
point,
knowing
I
had
booked
my
girlfriend's
International,
mid-Omicron
ticket
on
the
presumption
she
was
coming
to
a
liveable
situation,
the
woman
suddenly
pressured
me
to
settle
the
bill
so
far
at
the
higher
daily
rate.
And
even
though
this
broke
our
agreement,
hoping
to
keep
the
peace,
I
reluctantly
agreed.
Then
suddenly
the
promised
functional
kitchen
had
no
usable
cookware
that
shouldn't
have
been
thrown
away
30
years
ago.
The
man's
only
offering
was
to
suggest
my
tiny
girlfriend
lug
her
cookware
from
overseas!
He
wouldn't
even
lend
me
anything
usable
for
a
month.
Also,
he
still
hadn't
put
in
the
gas,
even
though
I
had
asked
for
the
last
several
days
-
it
was
always
'today',
but
it
never
happened.
And
the
stinking
fridge
was
finally
cleaned
but
now
'may
not
work'!
All
in
all,
already
a
completely
useless
kitchen
-
not
our
deal.
But
then
the
final
straw
-
they
decided
they
were
going
to
share
the
kitchen
now,
cooking
for
guests.
This
after
I
had
double-checked
at
least
3
times
that
it
was
not
to
be
shared.
They
laughed
that
of
course
we
could
not
have
it
to
ourselves,
despite
having
said
exactly
that
for
a
week.
It's
not
that
I
can't
live
sharing
a
kitchen.
It
is
the
manipulative
disrespect
of
luring
you
into
a
deal
with
lies
and
not
caring
it
is
abusive
to
think
you
can
change
whatever
you
want
once
someone
is
committed.
But
somehow
they
not
only
didn't
want
to
understand
this
basic
concept
-
instead
they
started
getting
hostile
&
abusive!
If
only
they
hadn't
lied
that
they
had
any
intention
of
delivering
on
their
promises,
I
could
have
found
another
place
day's
before.
But
they
just
changed
the
deal
and
did
not
deliver,
only
wasted
my
time.
Lacking
all
empathy,
they
cared
nothing
for
my
situation
or
the
stress
that
caused.
The
woman
pretended
she
never
had
to
honor
anything
her
husband
had
committed
to.
So,
clearly
unable
to
face
anyone
speaking
the
truth
and
calling
them
on
their
lies
and
selfishness,
and
being
unable
to
be
relied
on
for
anything,
she
dismissively
told
me
to
leave,
without
the
slightest
concern
for
all
the
inconvenience
she
had
caused
me.
Her
only
concern
was
that
she
get
every
rupee
she
demanded.
I
didn't
care
about
the
money,
despite
having
already
paid
way
more
than
agreed
was
to
be
the
monthly
rate,
so
was
ready
to
pay
the
last
day
at
the
front
door.
I
didn't
trust
what
they
would
do
otherwise.
She
was
ordering
me
around
like
I
was
a
child.
Appalling
enough.
But
then
the
whole
demented
family
followed
me
down
the
stairs
shouting
abuse!
Then,
as
if
I
was
going
to
a
run
away,
though
barely
able
to
carry
my
40
kg
luggage
(!),
the
shrew
woman
starting
assaulting
me,
physically
scratching
and
clawing
at
me!
Just
bizarre.
In
disbelief,
I
gave
her
the
money,
as
I
had
always
intended,
even
though
she
had
no
reason
to
believe
I
wouldn't,
and
escaped
their
ridiculous
nightmare.
Every
one
I
met
later
urged
me
to
tell
the
Tourist
Police,
but
I
had
assumed
they
would
clearly
just
lie
even
more
about
what
happened.
No,
I
had
trusted
people
who
didnt
have
the
basic
integrity
to
be
trustworthy,
or
the
empathy
to
care
about
anything
but
themselves.
Endemic
it
seems,
in
this
part
of
the
world.
