Even though this was more of a complaint post, I liked reading it. Good to know that the sun has shown up and now you can grow plants in your garden. And yes, you should not do business with the people who did not respond when you tried reaching them. But there would so many businesses dealing in that area, so do not just close doors to all of them. I wish I was there to help you, because I like doing gardening and stuff, but I don't think I would have survived there. :D

We have Netflix in our country too, but they only charge around 200 INR per month for mobile viewing, which is equivalent to 8 Steem. I don't think it is much.
