Re OUR “FRIENDLY” NEIGHOURS
I am writing this letter to bring to your attention that our boys are having school holidays and we sleep late at night and wake up late in the morning, because it is holidays and relaxing time for us. Thanks for the information. Actually I am not interested in your private daily plan and daily life schedule as you mentioned below.
Since the time your parents in law are staying here, we have been tolerating lot of noise early in the mornings; however during the school days it is kind of ok. My apologies for this, we Chinese people are all hard working and diligent, we do not like wake up very late and relax all the day like a Koala.
Our bedrooms are in a place that any little noise from your front yard is heard clearly till our lounge room, it is not sound proof. Sorry again, but why do you choose a house with all bedrooms in the front? Had you ever think about the potential noise in the future before you made the decision to buy the house.
Your other side neighbours are lucky they don’t get to hear any noise from your front yard. I should say they are smart and have made a good decision when they bought the house.
Even though we have two young boys, the noise that comes from our side is very minimal and I am presuming does not disturb any neighbours. Thank you, you are considerable
So I guess we are the unlucky ones have to put up with the digging, banging and sometimes we feel that we live in a Chinese village, than Sydney Australia. I believe Australia is multi-culture country and it is able to embrace all the nations and cultures. And I believe most Australian respect other people’s culture. My apologies for making you feel it that way. We have our own life style and if that’s really bother you. The only thing I can say is I am sorry but that can not be changed. It is like I could not change your life style to something else. Right?
Your child screaming loudly, pushing his toy car on the cement and playing the ball at 7 am in the morning is very noisy and disturbing to us. That’s my boy
There is an appropriate time and place for these sort of things. He can scream as much as he want in your backyard, that noise is not much heard in our bedrooms. Also our boys go back to school on the 20th so you can make noise after that time until the next school holidays in October. I do not need anybody else to teach me how to educate my child. I expect him to grow up with happiness and he feels free to live a happy life anytime.
Unfortunately, we are not on Centrelink benefits and privileged to sit at home and mind the kids and have someone to cook and clean for us. In fact we work hard and pay taxes for other people to live a luxury lifestyle even without working. You are not on Centerlink benefits, who is? I am also working hard to pay taxes for other people to live a luxury lifestyle. If you are not satisfied with the System, I suggest you talk to government or taxation office. I can not resolve your concerns here.
We have to do everything on our own, so throughout the school term we are extremely busy running around, therefore school holidays and weekends is a relaxing time for us. You should learn here, that is the benefit we can get from our culture, our parents more than happy to take care of our child and do cleaning staff. I understand how hard you life is but can not help here, sorry!!! I can not change your cultures. also I do not want to…because I respect other cultures.
The first time you and your wife came to meet us at our place, we welcomed you and took you inside the house even though I was watching a very interesting TV program and you came unannounced at our dinner time. My apologies for disturbing you and leaving you such a unfriendly impression from the first beginning.
You can with the excuse to ask for permission to install a satellite antenna, even though you did it after 1 year. Why did that bother you? You should have let us know if you were not happy for that.
I thought maybe we have good neighbours who we can rely on each other, but it is not the case. It seems you guys are not interested in anyone else other than your own cultural background and happy in your own environment. You may have many friends but sometimes in times of emergency you might end up needing the neighbours although you have maintained one good neighbour the opposite side of your house. Yes, we are enjoying our own culture and make friends with the same culture. That is because we are having different lifestyles and cultures and you are not happy to accept that.
I don’t think we have done anything wrong to you guys. Sorry, I was unable to get this letter typed in Mandarin as we live in Australia with English being the main language. Sorry for you if you can not type Mandarin but I do not think you want to. Your wording here give us a feeling of discrimination, but we are generous and do not want to make this “air of animosity” worse.
It is said “ you change for the world, do not let the world change for you”. You can either alternate your house with additional sound-proof structure or be more generous when you look at the big world.
Hope this letter makes sense and clears the air of animosity.
Sincerely |
