What are the features of neighborhood in your country?

I live in a big metropolitan city, so naturally the neighborhoood is not so close and one doesn't get to know each other as much as you found in countryside. We do get along with each other by means of minding our own business and keep away from disturbance and disruptive behavior during the night and day. Everyone is probably too busy to earn a living in a high cost of living environment, they just don't have much free time to visit each other house frequently and doing things together, it is part of the reality a city dweller like me had get used to after being lived inside it for many decades.

One of the features of our neighboring country is they retain the natural flow of water and mislead that water to their provinces resulting is a serious drop of water level and a dire ecological imbalance in my country. But there is none to understand us in the international arena. Actually our total survival is under threat.

In my Denmark I think that it is different from place to place. There are many places in the big cities where people don't have much contact. They greet eachother when they meet, and maybe they exchange a few words, but they don't spend time much time together. In many cases people don't even know their neighbours. In the villages or on the small islands it is different, and people usually know eachother. My brother lives in a village and when him and his wife moved in, the neighbours immediately visited them, they brought them flowers and food, they invited my sister-in-law to participate in the crafts group that the women have, they invited them to a party etc.

Your neighborhood there in China is just the same as in the Philippines, in the cities and in the countryside. I live in the countryside and yes, neighbors here are just like relatives. We are close friends here. Maybe all asians are the same.

Well, the people in my country are very hospitable. They also like to go to neighbors house and bond with each other. They invite them to have a good time and eat. They usually do sharing and talking and getting in touch with each other again seeing each other again for a long time.

I live on main street and houses in my neighborhood have large yards. We tend to mind our own business most of the time while we are courteous to each other as well. I know my next door neighbors to my left and my right, and we do greet when we see each other; but we don't hang out together, though.

I live in the south west part of England. It is in a country called the United Kingdom. I live in a quiet close and the old age neighbors in the other bungalows are very friendly. I go to my next door neighbor's bungalow sometimes. Next to my bungalow is an area of grass and two big trees. It is known as doggy corner which I think is quite amusing.

America is HUGE! And Oklahoma City is too HUGE for the 'not HUGE' population---other cities are bigger (or even smaller) in land-area but have way-more people living there. That's good if you 'get claustrophobic in crowds,' but it puts A LOT OF SPACE between you & the people who sell the things you need. And that mix (lots of space, not so many people-per-mile) leads to cities that use "Urban Sprawl" in their layout---that means 'all the housing in areas separate from all the industries.' And Urban Sprawl leads to 'little visiting-time between "driving to work" and "working" and "driving home" and "resting" and "driving out for fun" and "the fun" and "driving back home"' ... when I lived 'close enough to walk to the things I needed,' I'd see people outside on my way there. But now I live in the middle of my neighborhood, and I can't associate with them unless we 'put forth an effort to associate.'

hi, You are absolutely right. In our country too it is same like you. Let me explain you one incident. I was in office and a dog bite to my four year old son. He started crying and my wife was very disturbed as what and how to do. But our neighbor handles the situation very quietly. He has himself taken my son to the hospital and made everything alright. Even when i returned from the office in the late night, everything was so normal that i don't felt anything odd happened at my house. Really sometimes neighbors do act more than our relatives.
