Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood with friendly people
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have a good relationship with one of our neighbours, and with the rest we don't have much contact. But on occasions like New Year's Eve we do wish each other a happy new year. Opposite us is a park, so there is plenty of greenery. There are few shops in our area, but there are two primary schools.
