Neighbourhood

Well… when it comes to my neighbours, the main problem is that there are a lot of gossips. I live in small housing estate where almost  everybody know each other (I always say that it’s “the village in the city”). It’s hard to be anonymous here. If you only want to get the latest news, just go to a grocery (it’s our “gossip centre”). People are really nosy… they spy on others, sound out, compare their “valuable” notes on almost every subject. Sometimes it’s even funny, but sometimes it can be also really annoying.

On the other hand some people here are very kind. It’s nice when I go to school at the early morning and somebody tells “good morning” smiling at me or when they propose to give me a lift.

What’s more I have great memories of my childhood because we had a small bunch (there was not too many children so we sticked together) and we’ve done a lot of crazy thingsJ (A drawback was that other neighbours have known our parents and they sometimes complained about us for no apparent reason). Now we rather aren’t in touch with each other but it is still fine to remember these days.

To sum up we have our ups and downs but it could be worse. I rather try to have good relations with my neighbours. Eventually we live here together and it’s always better when atmosphere is friendly;)
