American Writing.....

Our pal Dawn said that I have had some crazy writing on my blog for the last 10 days. Yes !! It is Ukrainian writing . It is the name of the club and restaurant that I was writing about. That was my idea and Maryna wrote it for me. It seems that our brain stops working when it comes to language after we hit 40 . We don't hear the words right and when we try to speak it just comes out wrong. That is my story and I am sticking to it.
We have found out the real reason for the delay on our house. The builder has family members who help him out and they don't want a foreign buyer owning that much land in what they call their village. It seems that when a western person moves in they like to buy everything around them and control things. WTF is this. All I wanted to do was buy a nice house with land and live a good life with my family my grapes a few goats and a horse or two. When I saw the roads that lead into the place I forgot about riding my Harley up and down the streets, I will post photos and you will see why.
Now for the real news. When I was in Ukraina last month I looked at some land to buy for building a resort and shops. I found one section that I fell in love with and made an offer on it. This was done without anyone's knowledge "guess who's" and I thought it was ours. I thought it so much that I was already making plans for stocking the shelves in Maryna's shop that she wants to own and operate. Along with mayonnaise and sour cream there will be nice perfumes and other goodies that people of means will want to buy. The broker that I am using I will call Crazy Suka. Suka is a slang term for Sobaka. That is a female dog. So we all know now what it means. I made a real good hard offer on the land. I was told by crazy suka no problem Peter it is yours. I promise it is yours. All is fine in my world. Money is in the bank along with plenty for building and the bribes that go along with being a western person building a business in Ukraina..
Monday morning my cell phone rings. I look at the number and see 044 658 and so on. Great I say to myself. Crazy Suka, Hello Peter and how are you ? Peter, I am fine thank you for asking. I hope all is well with you. Crazy Suka , Peter we have a situation that needs your attention and I need some guidance on. Peter, ok tell me and we will take care of the situation. Crazy Suka, Peter they have raised the selling price on the land. Peter, I thought I had bought the land and that it was a real deal.Crazy Suka, Peter they have changed their mind and the land is now $60,000 more money. Peter, Ok I will pay the $60,000 more. Tell me please that we own the land. Crazy Suka , Peter I will call you back in one hour, we own the land , there will be no more problems.
One hour,no call. Two hours,no ringy dingy. Three hours, all is quiet. Four hours,WTF. I am watching the clock and the hours are passing by with no phone calls coming in. I know how to make a phone call and will make one . I will call anyone at anytime and even speak to them. I know if I can so can others.
Peter, calling 011 044 658 and so on. Crazy Suka, hello Peter what can I do for you ? Peter, say fuckin what!!! I have been waiting on your phone call for seven hours, whatz up ? Crazy Suka, Peter I have another person that is making me crazy about this land. Peter, WTF! What and who is this person that is making me crazy as well ? Crazy Suka, Peter I represent more than one buyer. A cold chill ran through Peters body and soul. I just closed my eyes and waited to die.
More to come later. Ya'll come back now, yea hear.
