Fall approaching

The air is starting to get cooler and the humidity is fading. This is a sign that fall is approaching. I did not say that it is here because I am still sweating through my clothes during the daytime. I can't wait until the temperatures are consistently below 24 Celsius so that I don't have to worry about being drenched when I arrive at the office.

Fall is also the sign that the windows are opened a lot more often in order to receive the refreshing cool breeze. Unfortunately, having the windows opened made me realize how loud and obnoxious my neighbors are. I think two guys live next door to me. Not really sure if they are just friends or a "couple". I've met them a few times in the hallway, but all we did was exchange Konichiwa. These guys love to get drunk at night time between 1 - 3 am, especially in the weekends and just yell at each other. In the day time, they love to sing what appears to be Japanese show tunes, hence the "couple" possibility. I have no objections to their lifestyle, but I would like for them to have some respect, especially when they have their windows opened. We share a balcony, which is separated by a thin wall, so sounds are easily heard. Also my balcony entrance and theirs are just feet apart. I am very respectful and lower my volume when I have the windows opened and know they are at home. In Japan, it seems that direct confrontation is a "No-no" so usually I have to get a 3rd party involved (land lord/maintenance dude) in order to indirectly tell them to "Shut The.....front door".

Yep, fun times.
