The qualities of a good neighbour are the following: kindness, attention, respectness and many other good qualities which are difficult to enumarate completely. In short neighbourhood is a part of our life, everyone has a neighbour anywhere they live in the country or in the city, neighbourhood exists everywhere. I often hear from my friends or relatives that they have very attentive and honest ones, they easily rely on them almost as a member of their family, they take care of their homes when they are out of the city besides there is more communication and relationship between neighbours especially in the west of Georgia.

As we know Georgian people are quite hospitable toward the people who live around them. Although the closest relationship isn`t necessary with all kinds of neighbours, sometimes they absuse our confidence and try not to keep our secret without a word, later they spread our secret and I think it`s a bad habit from their sides, that`s why I don`t like to walk against time in their presence.

However good neighbour doesn`t have to be talkative and wicked. It must be mentioned that the reason for it is the following, they have no their private life and have a strong desire to put their nose in others private life, unfortunately there exist people who can`t live wothout any gossip and another reason of this is that they don`t have inner culture to realise what a stupid thing they do but in vain.

Moreover I have three little neighbour above my floor they always wake me up early in the morning, they are very noisy, they run after each other at home which makes a lot of noise and during a day they get on my nervous, I sit and wait when they grow up.

First of all if we have less communication with neighbours like this everything will be ok. Besides the talkative neighbours there exist friendly ones, we can rely on them in any situation, share our plans with them for future.

However neighbourhood doesn`t mean only a person who lives near you, it means your collegue who works next to you, it`s essential for us to have some good qualites to our collegues such as cooperative, responsibility, respects others and etc.

In conclusion a good neighbourhood depends on our mood how we get on well to each other and if it`s pleasant to relate with them but to my mind living without relationship with neighbour is quite impossible in Georgia, although I don`t know when I say it am I right or not. Proverb: A good neighbour is better than a far living relative.
