In the 3 places I've lived there were concrete walls and floors, the only time I ever heard the neighbors was when both my door and their door was open.
In Canada I often heard my neighbors having sex or fighting...
Either there's less sex and less fighting here, or both of them are quieter, or the buildings I'm in are a lot better haha
I've felt a lot more privacy here.
People here do seem to not mind being alone though...
Oh and drinking alone as much as you want every night is totally legit and okay in Japan. Not antisocial. Not in need of medical help. Normal.
I still can't get over that lol.
a "What's your passtime?"
b "drinking"
a "Oh with who? Where?"
b "no one... at home"
a "...oh... you mean with like.. your wife or girlfriend?"
b "no just me, watching tv, last night I got really drunk! I still have a hang over"
a "so why do you drink alone? why not with friends?"
b "just to relax... unwind... refresh, it helps me sleep"
a "I see... you might not want to tell too many westerners about that..."
