    I bought a mandarin tree for them. But apparently I am supposed to by 2 not 1. How much of an error is this? I haven't just increased hostility by causing them lots of bad luck have I?

    In the case of Lai Sees, if you are handing them out, and if you are married, I believe the etiquette is to give two packets. Not sure if this applies to other presents though.

    How did you get off on a bad foot? What happened exactly?

    Red soft, thick-soled slippers would be beneficial to both sides I think.

    Arguments regarding renovations before they moved in.

    Yes they are. Don't want to get into neighbour wars though, pretty miserable having ongoing antagonism regardless of their noise. Especially in a small village - seen it with people behind us and it gets ugly. They have just moved in. Trying to clear the air and move forward so that we can try and live happily. Still want the sub-woofer info in case a point needs to be made though...
    Satay Sue and SiuMaiTaiTai like this.
