Well, today I would like to talk about a time when I changed my plan regarding the type of accommodation I wanted to live in. It was a year ago when I had saved enough money and started to think of buying an apartment which was what I had always been dreaming of. However, after the news reported a case of apartment in Flans in the city center and many big teams was stuck unreachable. I was so frightened that I immediately changed my plan and decided to buy a piece of land to build a house. An apartment had first been my choice because compared to a house it is much more affordable. with the availability of security guards and cameras. My property is protected from burglars. Having said that, the mentioned incident was like an alert for me to be more aware of the possible danger of leaving an apartment and other types of high buildings where evacuation in case of emergency is a big issue. Change has never been as easy for me as I prefer to stick to the plan that has been made in advance. But in that case, there seemed not to be a better choice for me because I am very scared for if I have a mistake.
