guy next door

There's this guy next door who keeps playing his recorder so nicely with the seaview outside my window, I think I'm dreaming.

Once, I started playing (my skills are very rusty, it has been 3 years since I actually played a complete song. So, I improvised the Marine's Hymn (which I heard on midi) and this guy shouted from 1 floor above my room and said "you play too?" I said,"Yeah, do you do it for school or fun?" And he (a bit younger than me, like a Year 9) answered "for school". I said "for fun, haven't touched one for ages".

I ended up not completing my maths homework as a result of this. But hey, at least socialising is much better than sitting in front of a computer killing people in some bloody arcade game...

It's good to socialise with people outside your window. Do you have similar experiences? Feel Free to comment.

No similar experiences like yours, although I have heard (regular) piano music for a direction I don't know. All I know of my immediate neighbours is that a baby lives next door.

With all this high rise living, and with the apartments designed specifically so that no window faces another directly, it is rather hard for me to do the same thing as you do. Nonetheless, it is good that such a thing is happening.

In my case, I have Block 1 to keep me company. One guy keeps shooting BBs out of the window, his sister (i think) is obsessed with the piano. I'm talking about the same floor level in Block 1. (F 25).

The recorder-playing guy 1 floor up somewhere.

But there are also some a**h***s who do bad things to neighbours. One seemed to have the ability to crack my bedroom window at night with some unidentified object.
