I rode my bicycle around the neighborhood with my twin daughters to deliver some homemade grilled halibut teppanyaki to several neighbors for lunch. Normally, Don handles this, but he’s currently out of town. Our neighbors already know that we’re leaving the city around December, and they feel sad since we’ve become like family. Although I don’t socialize much with them, my wife has built strong relationships with many of them. Nearly 80% of our neighbors are expats from around the world, making this a truly wonderful neighborhood. It reminds me of the Arab proverb: 'Choose your neighbors before you choose your home.'"
