Happy Neighbours

Happy neighbours are a blessing and a gift, and we can all have a hand in helping maintain happy neighbours. While there are neighbours that choose to stay quietly to themselves, there is a rising sense of community that many neighbours are sharing. In many cases, the neighbourhoods of today are becoming small families that share many holidays and good times together. If you are fortunate enough to stumble into one of these neighbourhoods, it is important that you are a good neighbour in return. You don’t want to be the one to upset the balance of happiness on the block.When you move into a neighbourhood and look around, you might find that there are plenty of people who are willing to greet you, meet you, and of course, welcome you. This is a strong indication that you have some pretty happy neighbours. Look around a bit before you start to change your home and find out if the neighbourhood has any basic rules or regulations. Some do even if they are not gated communities. These neighbourhoods are often those that are in historical districts or are in the city. While you are out socializing with your new happy neighbours, ask questions, learn what you can, and sit back to be absorbed by a very joyful group of people who are grateful for your presence. This is part of the balance that keeps happy neighbours exercising their joy and acceptance in their little corner of the world.

Wonderful Neighbours

I am really lucky to have so wonderful neighbours. But it’a a pity not all of us can say these words. The majority of people who live in blocks of flats complain on the horrible neighbours. As my experience shows, all the good neighbours are the same and all the bad ones can be of the most different kinds. The most popular of them are:
young people who prefer to listen to hard rock late at night and to organise noisy parties,
people who seem to know when to start the redecoration of thie flat as it always happens in the most unsuitable or unexpectable moment,
neighbours who live over you and often forget to turn off running water so that you have to make redecoration afterwards,
neighbours who live under you and complain on your being not careful with running water when the water from your upper neighbours flows down.
There are certainly some other rare types of the neighbours such as old women with wonderful few dozen of beloved cats which produce unpleasant smell or just married couple who regulary shout, break plates and then make it up. If you live with such neighbours, think about moving to the country or buying a separate house as it seems to me to be the only way out.

Temporary neighbors

Neighbors can be divided into two parts: your lifelong neighbors, with whom you live and occasional ones. You come across them when you spend your leave at a recreation center or when you stay at a hotel for several nights. We all have problems with our neighbors, but we understand that we are doomed to live beside them and we have to put up with them. Unlike our lifelong neighbors, our temporary neighbors live beside us for a short period of time. That is why we have a wonderful opportunity to have it out, when they behave badly. If you are a risky person and like adventures, you will consider your quarrels with your neighbors as a sort of a game. You can have a god time and have fun from the heart. In any case, you won't see these people any longer. Nothing can spoil your further life. In this case, no matter how the events are developing, everything will be ok; you will return home and will go on keeping friendship with your lifelong neighbors. Quarreling with your neighbors is the most pleasant pastime and the best way to spend your leave. Just try and you will understand that this is true. If you are a calm person and don't like quarrels and arguments, you are a bore. Calmness and silence is available at home, and such an entertainment as having it out is rarely available. That is why never miss your chance.
