En la noche ocurrió un incendio donde vivían muchas familias, eso me hizo reflexionar que no todos tenemos la suerte de arrendar una casa, y generalmente debemos compartir la pieza con alguien que no conocemos, es la única alternativa que nos queda; generalmente los migrantes, debemos buscar lugares más baratos, muchos se aprovechan de que no conocemos el dinero, o las condiciones, porque somos nuevos; generalmente las casas no están en buenas condiciones, las instalaciones de las viviendas son malas. Por donde yo vivo, en la casa hay cinco familias, y no es agradable estar entre tantas personas, porque necesitas espacio y comodidad, yo lo he estado buscando, he estado buscando casas y no he encontrado, están muy caras, no nos queda de otra, debemos seguir allí.

One night there was a fire in a building where many families live together, and it made me reflect upon the fact that not all of us are fortunate enough to be able to have our own house. Generally, we must share a room with someone whom we don’t know, as it’s our only option. Usually as migrants, we have to look for cheaper places, and many take advantage of our lack of familiarity with the currency and living conditions, because we are new here. The houses generally aren’t in good condition, and the rooms that the landlords construct inside are of poor quality. Where I live, there are five families in the house. It’s not very pleasant to be among so many people, because we all need some personal space and comfort. I have been looking for a more comfortable place, searching for other houses, but I haven’t found one. They are very expensive, so we don’t have any other choice but to stay where we are.
