How often do you see your neighbours?

I saw my neighbours everyday when I lived in a old street in the past. We greeted each other and had a talk when we met. Since I have moved to a apartment, I simply see my new neighbours once a month. It is a pity that neighbours are not so familiar as past. How about you? How often do you see your neighbours? :)

Oh! I also live in an apartment. With this, I seldom see my neighbors. Besides, I work during nighttime and that might be one of the reasons why I am not seeing them constantly.

After you have moved to a new apartment it is great that you see your neighbours at least once a month. I think there are people which doesn't see their neighbours so frequently.

hello constabularyid.........nice discussion. When I was living in India, all our neighbors were almost like our family members, and we would see each other every day. We would share day to day conversations, we would enjoy festivals together even if it was not our festival.......and many more things........But now I live here in Israel.....here each one likes to hide behind their house doors.....we don't even know who they are and they too don't care to see who is living next door.......so we hardly see any neighbors unless there is some common problem like electricity problem or water problem or some bad news..., then we see faces of our neighbors here.... I don't blame anyone because life is full of stress here, and nobody has time for anybody here........I miss my India.....

I used to see my neighbors very rarely when I was living in an apartment building. Though, I moved into Germany about half a year ago and now I live in an apartment that is just one story of 3-story house. I see my neighbors almost every day. It is funny considering that there were dozens of people living in the same building before, but I have only 3 neighbors here. Yet, I meet them more often and they seem to be nicer.

I do not even know who are my neigbors. I live in an apartment where we are all strangers to each other.

I rarely see my neighbours because of the shifts that i work but to be fair they can be pretty anti-social so the less i see of them the better.
