As I look out of my window to the south, I see Arno's house, he is a language teacher at the American school, his wife works for some international bank and they have 2 young boys. Next door to them is Nick's house, he is a plastic surgeon and his wife is a nursery school teacher, they don't have any kids together but I think he may have grown up children from a previous marriage. Next door to them is a couple I don't know that well, but I know the guy is Lebanese or Iranian and owns an offshore business, they have a baby. Opposite them is the anaesthetist's house, but he died of a drugs overdose last year. Just moved in further down is another family, she is a painter of religious Icons.

To my right, are a couple, with 3 daughters, they own a Karate school and a security firm. Next door to them is Novia's music school and piano academy.

Across the road is Chrissie, she publishes a free monthly consumer-type magazine paid for by the advertisers. The other neighbours there aren't so interesting.

Behind my house is Stheni, she tried running for local mayor a few years back. Further on up the road is a very mysterious Lebanese guy whom I fantasise of as being some sort of terrorist mastermind, but I'm sure he's not really. In the next street is Demetra and Ilia's house, they have 3 kids and 2 dogs and are lovely people. Opposite them is Alex's house, he's a techno-head, used to be a music producer, invented some sort of laser surgical procedure a few years back, now he's involved with GPRS for boats. Further on up the road is Bambo's house, he does various jobs for a living, but he is an artisan, he collects rocks and bits of wood and carves them into very naive sort of works of art, his dream is to move back to his village and do nothing else but that. His 14 year old son plays drums in a rock band and flits around town on an old scooter wearing a hat decked out in ganja leaf motifs:m::D

I know loads of people in the next neighbourhood as well.

How well d'you know your neighbours?
 
haven't talked to any of my neighbours (appartment building) more than a "hello" for, hmmm I moved in 6 years ago
yeah, that's about then
 
Pretty much the same as Avatar here.....been here 4+ years and haven't said more than hello to most of them...infact i haven't ever said hello to the neighbors that reside above us and viceversa......this place is rather quite and reserved so not much social contact between people here.:rolleyes:
 
I know my neighbor likes to get drunk and sleep in his backyard in the lawn chairs naked. I wish I didn't know that though.
 
To the left, someone who has 5 dogs that pee in our yard. if i catch that dog, its dead.

To my right, bratty kids im constantly taking pictures of wandering on my front porch when they think im not home, rollerblanding in my driveway, playing football against our vehicles, tearing up my grass, and all in all being a pain in the ass. Their mother is an awful woman who refuses to do anything about it, and really aggrevates me, so for fun i play candy sweet to the husband when she's looking. :)

Across the street, very nice older couple. loaded. vacation alot, like to garden. Good people, they also hate the kids, the dogs, and anything that touches their grass.

hahahaha.. with the right amount of creativity you coul really have alot of fun with that.. lol.
Call a lawn service to come cut his grass really early saturday morning.. etc... hahah
 
Since my family moved to Georgia i havnt had a conversation with any neighbor other than the usual "hello". i guess that's part my fault too. all i know is that the two girls living next door are lesbians :D .

i used to know everyone in the apartment complex when i lived in florida...darn it
 
There are 4 units on both floors.

Across the hall are 2 families.
Very nice. Their apartments stink up the hall whenever they open the door. It's horrible.
One of them gave me a set of chairs that they were getting rid of.
I couldn't keep them because the smell wouldn't come off.

Then next to me there is a woman. I think she does security, but I never ever see her. I think I've seen her like 3 in times the whole year I've been living here.

There is a family of weed heads upstairs.
Their little kids knock on my door asking me to teach them how to dance.
I have no idea who lives directly above me.
I think there is an empty 2-bedroom upstairs also.
The maintenance guy gave it to this drunk guy for awhile for free, but the drunk guy kept going around telling people about it. The drunk guy is no longer there.

Then there is another apartment upstairs that I know nothing about.
Then there's me.
 
my neighbors to the left are your typical single mother middle class family. Very clean cut. Her boys do sports and do well in school, they go to church on sundays and attend all town functions. truely vommit inducing....
 
Left: Chinese family. They smile at me whenever we meet, so we're at least friendly.

Down the hall on left: An old couple who are very nice because they always greet me when we meet. Very much like kindly grandparents.

Right: Fat dude who plays heavy metal at all times of the day, with what I presume to be mail-order bride or private nurse. Wears black, has trimmed goatee, and goes to work at odd hours.

Down the hall on right: Young male, approx. 24-28?, I was throwing out the trash and I met a group of his friends and him waiting for the elevator. Now I check before I open my door, every single time. :eek:

Directly below: Large family with small children, a grandfather who enjoys smoking on the balcony so we all get to enjoy it (argh), and they have a piano.

Directly above: Either beavers or carpenters. They always seem to be hammering or drilling something!

Various "neighbours" in 701, 1607: A bunch of my mum's friends whom she met at meetings. One of them's the superintendent. Very nice. :cool:

And some of my classmates live in the same condo, as well as the building beside us on the right. My bldg's in front of a historical site, so no one lives there. Our twin condo has other people who go to my school, but I don't know them. Everything's a mirror reflection of my bldg but weird, it's Bizzarre-O Condo. :eek:
 
the building I live was built in 1913
we have pre WW1 radiators in one room :)
I love the high ceilings (4m) and the thick walls - they keep warmth in the house in winters and don't let heat in during summers
they sure knew how to build back then :)
the appartment is quite large also - 245 m^2
 
Cool apt Av! Mine's regular suburban condo, built somewhere around 1993 with all the commodities that I hardly even use. I quite scared of the jacuzzi.. don't know what's living in there! :eek:
 
I don't realy know my neighbours here.
But my old neighbours, lets see. A mile down the road there was Bryoni and Jeremy, they had recently gotten married, their horses would constantly break loose, and roam around our fields, Jeremy's brother came to live with them, he was cute. Wrecked one of my CDs.
Then there was the crazy French guy. Don't know much about him.
Then like a mile the opposite way, at the top of the hill, there was a family with like 6ish kids?? They had a daughter my age., Really nice people. Kept their cattle near us.

It's nothing special really. The bubbles effect can be achieved in your very own bath tub by kicking and thrashing about a lot. :D And I've always had fears that I'd fall asleep and drown. :eek:

Or perhaps 2 or 3 of you could maybe, eat a whole load of beans or Jerusalem Artichokes or something, sit in the bath-tub together and before you know it... instant jaccuzi!:D Not to mention Aromatherapy:D
 
naah,
I'd prefer the kicking and trashing adviced by Blue
especially if she would accompany me :)
