A lot of chatting, blathering about nonsense
Auto-translated to English by AII moved here in December and so far haven't experienced any bad things in this neighbourhood. Nice people, cosy atmosphere, everything is within walking distance. It's also kept very clean; there's always something on the ground, that's just how it is, but otherwise we all do our best to keep the streets as clean as possible.
