I have lived here for 45 years now, truly a neighbourhood where social control is number one. People look out for each other, care for each other, have respect for each other. And very importantly, we take care of our elderly together so they can continue living in our neighbourhood for a long time. Together we make our neighbourhood as cosy as possible.
