What makes a good neighbor?

Most people would say a good neighbor is someone who greets you when passing by,

and lends a hand when needed.

Someone who doesn’t make noise or cause trouble.

But in Taiwan, where I live, it’s common to see people occupying public roads —

cars, scooters, flower pots, even piles of stuff,

as if the street were an extension of their own yard.

So for me, being a good neighbor means one more thing:

keeping shared spaces clean and clear.

It’s not just about tidiness.

It’s about respect — for the people who live beside you.

It sounds simple,

but not everyone remembers it.
