I do not really know my neighnours although they are all very nice. One of my neighbours are a young couple who live just beside my house and another one is a young guy on my opposite side. When we see each other at the morning or when we finished working, we may say hello and smeil to each other, they do not even know my names. It may be strange as I have been living there for 2 years, and my neighbous were already there at that time, but we have been doing the same thing when we see each other sometimes.

Yes, I know my neighbors and I know practically all the people in the community. I have good relationships with them and we even have a neighborhood association and we meet occasionally.

Even my family members are very friendly with neighbours.Eventhough we dont go all time and sit in their house and talk we smile at them when we see them while coming out of our home.they are good people and helped us a lot while doing some customs which my mom was not knowing during my elder brothers marriage. We share sweets during festival times and my mom talks with the aunt when she is doing some gradening work.Its always good to keep in touch with our neighbours.They are the ones who will come for our rescue if something unusual happens to us if we are alone at home.So we have make a cordial and friendly relationship with them.Even we need to help them when its necessary.

A man walks past and seeing a wounded guy and hearing his cries for help crosses the road and pretends not to see or hear. A priest also walks along the road and too crosses to avoid the man needing help. Then my neighbour came by, rushed to him, cleaned his wounds, picked him up, took him to a hostel and took care of him. 2 days later he gave the hostel manager all the money kindhearted people had given him to help this guy and asked that the man be tended until his return; and added that if the expense was more he would pay later. This guy who helped wounded person is my neighbour and I really admire him for his good deeds . He is there always when we need help. I still remmember the day we came to live in our new house and were short by two man for labour and he came helped us and declined for any moneatry help . I'm also lucky like you to have some body real good as my neighbour.

I only have a neighbour on one side. It is an old guy, about 85yrs old. He still works on fridges and freezers, as this was, well, still is, his occupation. He has been a pretty good neighbour, though rather eccentric at times. I often have to help him lift a fridge, cause he can't manage any more. We think he should stop working, as he is slowly slipping back, but giving up working would probably be the end of him too.

in the city we seldom known our neighbors due to the fact that they are all working and go home late no time to makes some pleasantries with each other..but in the rural areas everybody near or far in our house is all my friends..i agree with you we must know our neighbors they can be relied on something such us just watching our house when were in vacation or whatever..

Hello aissha,yes i do know my neighbors....I have one older guy next door to me,we always talk.he lost his wife and he is lonely.I gave him a cockatelle bird and cage because he had been wanting one and could not afford one on his retirement.He has got that bird so spoiled..He puts him on the porch in the morning and he sings all day ,and takes him in at night..In back of me ,my grandson lives there, but at the time he is in Iraq...Where I lived before i also know my neighbors,and that is where i own a home, right now i am away, but my neighbors are watching the house and also the lady across the street..I usually always have known my neighbors...Some of my friends that I have now,started out at one time being my neighbors,,

From my point of view neighbours are like god but only good neighbours because when we hav some kind of problem they help us out i.e when we have some financial problems, if at night if some one in our house gets sick they run for us and help us. So in some how kind they help us so we must know our neighbourhood.

Yes, I know almost all of them and they're my good friends too especially those neighbors who are the same age as mine. It doesn't really mean that because I have internet at home I don't mingle with them. Our family does mingle with our neighbors often time especially during special days like birthdays, christmas, new year's eve. It's our sign of making friends with them too and not having any barriers from them at all.
