Sounds like culture difference, maybe the country, maybe just village lifestyle, some people expect that everyone sleeps and wakes up when they do, and some people feel waking others up isn't a big deal if it's when they consider to be normal waking time. I certainly don't like it but I'm sure you can find a way to get along with the neighbors. That was really nice of him to come tell you though. I didn't realize how close everything was to you, I thought you were just a bit more isolated then that. You will get used to the church bells and the dogs. If I can get used to psytrance and footwork while I sleep, I am sure you can get used to church bells.
It's a culture shock indeed but, then again, it really isn't. I attracted this. It's - in a way - exactly what I was looking for. I am getting along with most people now, it seems. Yeah, I will manage to sleep through it all, one day soon.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment, my friend :>)
I think when the town is that small you'd be fine to open the door to strangers XD least now they know where to find you :)

Haha! I guess you're right about that
and, yes, I kind of stand out here, not just in looks but also in age ;>)
Young'un amongst oldies by any chance?
I grew up in a small town. I don't know if it was a thing there or just a peculiarity amongst my family and friends but you rarely knocked, you just kind of yelled a greeting (which is usually "knock knock" in my case XD) and if someone answered you from the bowels of the house then you waltzed on in XD
I like that. That sounds like the town in the 'far' east of Holland, where my grandparents used to live. Doors were never locked and there was no need to make appointments. You wanted to see someone? you just went over. If the peepz were - indeed - around, you were always welcome to stay and enjoy whatever food and drinks there were around. Now I think of it, the backdoor was always open :>)
So happy for you!
Very nice to hear from you :>)
Monte Frio from Serra do Açor (Arganil)?

Hahaha.. I am planning on getting you a dog as a house warming gift.. LOL..
I am really happy that you found yourself a base of operation for processing all the creative thoughts which sometimes were getting disturbed by the surroundings.
Enjoy Brother
Please don't bring a dog with you. There's already plenty of dogs and fat cats straying around here. Although they aren't the scary Indian type of stray dogs, they actually belong to people in town.
Yeah, it's pretty awesome. My new life has started for real.
Thanks buddy! :>)
