Toddlers shouting in apartment hallways, is this normal behavior?

And we would reach our trombone out to other sections and leak out water during indoor practice lol.

only it isn’t water LOL

@MadamBroccoli

Do you still play it now?

Sadly, no. I lost my trumpet during one of the times I moved. Anyway, I don’t think my neighbors would appreciate me practicing LOL

[MadamBroccoli]

That’s true. I was just thinking maybe I should pick it up again. Kinda think it’s healthy to Hold your breath longer lol. Better give up on it before my neighbor come and offer 1000 bucks for my sock.

I used to have a problem with my neighbors storing hundreds of stanky shoes outside my door. I tried the landlord route with no success and finally just embarrassed the shit out of them by showing up with a laundry basket and announcing that I’m here to wash the shoes. There was some yelling at first but I worked with them to wash the hallway and let them have a chance to ask anything they wanted. We’re on good terms now.
If I were you, I’d approach them with concern. When you hear kids scream, you think they are hurt and need help.
Keep asking if they are injured and if they need to go to the hospital. Embarrass the shit out of them and it will stop. You can’t approach it logically and say they need to take care of their kids… When they’re pissed off, show up with a gift. It’s hard for anyone to hate or not care for someone who is right there.

I 100% agree and like this advice. Word it in a concerned way, make them lose face. Ideal.

Or hire a bear anonymously to do the screaming. No way they could trace it back to you :-). Could be a good business model.

Buy a gameboy color and Pokémon yellow. Can’t be too expensive and will keep the kid quite for a while. There’s always Pokémon gold or silver after he beats yellow.

But he seems rather frugal, so I wonder if he would buy such a gift for a neighbor’s kid.

Chinese people seem to be rather indulgent of noise from small children (and then occasionally snapping and screaming at them).

The apple doesnt fall far from the tree…

Frankly, i cannot understand the appeal of apartment life and all the confinement, limitations and stresses that goes along with it.

What other options are there in Taiwan? A house?

[Explant]

Same as any other country. yes, houses are another option of housing

[Noel]

Really? There are houses in Taipei? Where?

[Explant]

You said taiwan. However, rumour has it taipei has constructed a house or 2 as well

[Noel]

I suppose so, I guess I even technically lived in a house for a few years in Taipei myself. I just don’t get the problem with the noise issues though. In most Taiwanese style houses as well, you would likely have to listen to noise from the street; Taiwan (and most places really) are noisy compared to suburban North American neighborhoods , which I find to be sterile and kind of scary, but that’s just me.

Invest in a decent white noise machine and get good headphones as well, your life will be much better.

Yup. I appreciate people who are willing to deal with alife of noise and lack of peace and quite. It allows space for those of us that need no noise , lights, distractions to get a good sleep. Imagine if taiwans population was evenly distributed throughout the land mass. Basicall would be a country of pingdong. Not a good thing.

But for those who dont like crowded stressful lifestyles, taiwan does have options. This isnt singapore.
