But sure enough, after living in Tokyo for 7 months, I've noticed my next door neighbors are sensitive to the point of ridiculousness. They complained to the management company about me over extremely trivial matters. I was really surprised because I had talked to them before and they seemed laid back, but apparently not!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400184654329955672.post-26593339153193767922009-09-05T16:45:15.581-06:002009-09-05T16:45:15.581-06:00I am a foreigner living here in Japan as well.

My neighbor (an old lady) looked at me as an unempolyed person, a looser who gave up working with Jap. employer and routinely kept sharing the same gossip to other neighbors abt me in the morning and the afternoon.<br />Today, I said her that it has been too much and I'll report the matter to police.<br />Now I wonder what would happen from tomorrow...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400184654329955672.post-83940715416232009152009-08-31T20:09:25.321-06:002009-08-31T20:09:25.321-06:00That is unbelievable.

Not sure you would have had much luck reporting the loss to the police, as I never registered the bike - the police here tend to be pretty useless at finding stolen bikes. Definitely get a strong lock - I had my favorite bike stolen a few years back when it was locked with what I thought was a solid cable lock...never again. U-Locks for me now. <br /><br />Enjoy your time back in the States!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774435039833297213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400184654329955672.post-7328646470149057242009-06-03T09:45:46.969-06:002009-06-03T09:45:46.969-06:00I wish I could have seen the face of that kid bein...I wish I could have seen the face of that kid being yelled at by the giant gaigin!
