One of the best (or maybe worst) parts of living in my block is the almost-complete lack of soundproofing. It's as though the contractor forgot to put enough concrete in the walls when building it or something.

So my family just got treated to a lovely quarrel between the couple living upstairs. Well, at first it was a husband-and-wife quarrel; then it became a one-woman rant by the wife to her mother-in-law about her husband.

I slept through the first half, but according to my mum it was the wife shouting at her husband about "YOUR MOTHER". My mother insists that the phrase was not used as part of a vulgarity.

The second half took place after a half-hour break, presumably when "YOUR MOTHER" (aka her mother-in-law) arrived for dinner. The woman is seriously pro okay. From shouting in English, she switched to shouting in bad Mandarin. Then we were duly entertained for a good half hour with her retelling of how her life sucks because her husband was quarreling with her -.- “他叫我不要跟他沟通了！！！”
In an attempt to try and stop their quarrel, my dad went over to the window and started singing. Didn't help.

Then a door slammed shut upstairs. We had peace for maybe about 5 seconds, then the door slammed open and the woman started shouting with renewed vigor :O She's amazing; doesn't seem to need to stop for breath.
