I moved apartments - from a studio apartment to what is called a Caravan (it's kind of like a storage container from a shipping boat, but painted nice and with a tile floor). I still live alone, but I am now located in a more social/community-oriented location. My direct neighbors are from Ethiopia and have an adorable 2 year old boy, who calls my name out when he sees me and makes me smile. My neighbor across from me is named Isabel - a very lively PhD student from Brasil who teaches me a word in Portuguese here and there and generally makes me laugh a lot.
There are 10 Caravans in my courtyard - all of our doors open to a common outside area with small gardens and picnic tables. For my first shabbat after my move, we all had dinner together:
I have a natural alarm clock every morning at 7:30, except Saturday, because I now live right next to the elementary school, so I wake up to the sounds of screaming (happy) children. Things could be worse... :)
Write me letters! And I'll write you back!
