ear plugs actaully arent better than nothing.

i dont know why korea is the land of the 6am jack hammer

i had the same problem for months because apartments were being built.

all i could is hope they didnt show up for work that day so i could get some sleep. i went out many times at 6am to yell at them, im sure they thought i was the crazy white boy

Wake up at 5am a few mornings and start hammering in your apartment next to your neighbor's wall. If he asks you what you are doing, say you are building a spice rack.

An eye for an eye my friend.

Yes, get earpluugs and use them for sleeping. But, even when I am awake, my neighbors get on my nerves. They are middle-aged and they sure can make the noise. They get out in the hallway and blabber, and their ugly voices echo. If they want to blabber all day, why don't they go inside and shut the door or go to a coffee shop or hof? Why must they stand right outside my door and blabber??? They also like to go in and out all day long. I have to hear hem do this all day on saturday before I head out in the evening. Weirdos. The lady that lives there always has to announce loudly that she has came back home, when she comes home in the evenings. Honestly, I don't care that she is back home. Get your butt inside, close the door, and announce it all you want. I'd expect this from 20s/30s aged people, not middle aged people. Darn! They are louder than teens!


One time get ready for her coming home standing inside your door. Wait for her to say her say "HI EVERYBODY! I'M HOME!" and open your door and say, "CHUKAHAEYO! CHOYONG HAE JUSEYO!"

Later I'll post some VERY loud music on the youtube thread. Crank it up! Razz


Oh, and after he's done, wait two days (peace and quiet) and then it's time for a LOUD party. Play LOTS of country music (Koreans seem to hate country music). I can help you if you want to have a BIG blowout- the secret is punch with some SERIOUS alcohol. Wink Laughing
Keep his butt up all night!

Knock on his door.

Ask him to not make noise.

The crisis is over. I didn't go out Saturday night and I had a lie in Sunday morning...no noisy neighbours.

Now that the weather is nice I think I'll get up earlier now. Thank God I'm not living in the city...

...all's quiet on the Western front.

Cheers for all the advice.
