[quote=JABAROOTOO,250397]Well I too miss having a car and getting out of town, but what I really miss the most is going swimming and surfing in the ocean and sailing sometimes.

I miss the really quiet times and like WCTMAN I have to say that getting some peace and quiet is sometimes very hard to come by.  Just today I have had to contact my building management about a neighbour who plays a flute anything up to twelve hours a day (he must have rubber lips) but it is the volume and pitch of his instrument which is the most disturbing.  It would seem that I am the only resident to make any complaints although I am sure that I am not the only one who would prefer him to quite playing or at least turn it down a lot.

No one else in our community makes that much noise, that consistently and that loudly and gets away with it but he has been about this for more than one year (that I know of) despite my complaints every few months or so, usually at 10.30pm or 11.00pm in the evening after he has played almost non-stop for three to five hours.  He and his wife also have three very yappy little dogs that also contribute more than their share to the noise pollution in the neighbourhood.

I have been fortunate to have lived in buildings where management bans, and monitors construction noise on weekends and between 6.00pm and 6.00am affording most residents some quiet leisure time.

But................for everyone else.......there is little consideration.........a sad indictment on society and the argument that  China's collectivist style society is more caring and considerate than the western individual society.  
We at least have more respect for the local bylaws that govern our individualistic lifestyles...........[/quote]
