Wonderful

In the years that I've lived in my current place, I only met one set of neighbors once - that was the upstairs crew the day one of the buildings was burning and we had no power. Recently a new set of neighbors moved in next door, and I've seen them not once, but twice now.

Today, I saw them because their front door was wide open, wafting out the not-so-tantalizing aroma of processing kimchee. Ugh. My apartment smells of it, too. Hopefully my nose will go numb very soon. No offense meant to those who culturally or otherwise are very pleased by the taste/smell/whatever of this dish. I happen to love some fabulous Mexican and German dishes that smell horrible while preparing but the end product is fabulous. I just don't do the smelly part in my apartment.
