I live in an old school small alley Korean neighbourhood. Right now there is a chickey and her husband SCREEEEEEEEEEEAMING at each other. They're nutso crazy right now. It's awesome.

During the week I'm not awake this late at night so I don't notice things like this. But today. Wow, they're really going at it.

Here's my other funny noise thing though: My immediate neighbour is a witch. When I say a witch I mean a traditional Korean shaman. She does magic and shit, but she's basically a shaman. This crazy witch bangs on her drums and screeches like a witch non-stop every morning from about 9am-2pm. Insanely loud drum banging and screeching every damn day, non-stop for hours it is...

wait.. I gotta go.. the woman's screams have turned into a tortured animal sounds.. gotta check this out..hope I've mixed up my sounds and it's not a real person..

You should embrace the small alley life that you live in. I think you are luckier than the 99% of posters who live in some officetel two blocks from Lotte Mart-ah.

Enjoy Korea.

We regularly visit the house of a Korean Buddhist/shaman woman for dinner. She's my wife's "older -koreanstyle-sister". She's very interesting.

As for the fighting..... consider it entertainment. I love Friday and Saturday nights. I love to strain my neck out of the window to see some old guy screaming and doing some march back and forth toward another guy while some small woman holds back the other guy. My wife translates. It's so fun. I just wish it happened every night.

Sometimes, the gyopo girl down the hall even freaks out and yells at her white boyfriend in the hallway. Soooo much fun.

Anyway, visit the shaman. It's interesting. If it's that bad, get some ear plugs.

Posts like this makes me appreciate my rice paddies a lot more. Then again, some may prefer this kind of "entertainment" over watching rice grow. I guess we all just gotta learn to made do with what we've got.

OP, I hope no one was tortured, animal or otherwise.

If you want to hear people arguing/ fighting ,wait for the last week of each month. There's at least one shouting match/ fight accompanied by constant door slamming,between a couple in your building or in your neighborhood. Why? Payday usually falls between the 25th and the last working day of the month. It is also the time when most ,if not all,the bills are due to be paid. Hubby usually comes home pie-eyed and has pissed the money away on "other activities"... You learn to ignore it after you have been here a long time...
