I would invite my former neighbors over for dinner. They were very supportive of us when we just arrived in this country and helped us when we were clueless about many things. Now we are all living in a different places and our children are at different stages of development so it would be nice to spend some time with them and catch up.

This is a good one!
I've never moved to a different country to live but I can imagine it would leave one feeling a little isolated so some support from a neighbour would be welcomed and I'd imagine a good bond was formed.
Is there something special you'd cook for dinner or would you take them somewhere special?
We could go out for a day camp or BBQ
Ah yes, good idea. In that case I'd imagine there'll be seared flesh on the BBQ...Or at least if it was my BBQ there would be.
Numerous cuts of Beef, vegetables, garlic shrimp 🦐, marshmallows etc
Umm...
Any chance of sneaking an invite my way?
Lol. Would have to invite you on another day as the goal would be to reconnect with my former neighbors.
I'm sure setting up a separate day to hang out with you would not be a problem as the summer is only just beginning.
Good answer...Puts me firmly in my place.
Yeah the kids enjoyed roasting and eating the marshmallows
You can never go wrong with barbeques! They are absolutely delicious. My personal favorite is grilled shrimp with garlic sauce on top and serve with some grilled veggies and potatoes. Great, now I have made myself hungry 🤣
Maybe this will help.
Delicious Torture 😋🤣. Love the way the lemon slices are cut.
Yum. I recall that my neighbors love seafood so this should be a hit with them for sure. Looks like it would be good for you too.lol
His neighbor is exceptional. He is kind and I have not seen neighbor like this rendering help to his fellow neighbor
It's always nice to see people helping people and for humility and gratitude to be the result.
You are right.
Im sure he has something special to prepare for dinner. May be it will be fried rice with chicken
Seems a legit choice.
Hehehe...u love this kind of rice .... I love eating fried rice and chicken. But he should tell us the kind.
What a good reason to invite them for a dinner. Neighbours could be very irritating in attitude but if you have had some very supportive neighbours, dinner will be a way to appreciate them.
Thanks @mrenglish. They have truly been a blessing to us even though we didn’t speak each other’s language.
Wow. I hope you'd be able to make a meal for them since they are of a different culture.
We’ve been living here for over 10 years so that should not be a problem. This time of year BBQs and camping are popular here so I thought a combination of both would be good.
The truth is that with globalization many places in the world have a lot of things in common. I’m sure we can find many foods that are mutually appetizing. Beef, vegetables, seafood etc.
Hehe it surely will be a lot of fun. BBQs and camping is plus seafood and vegetable will make a lot of sense I tell you.
Do you have a strong BBQ and outdoor camping culture in your area @mrenglish ?
We do normal BBQ hang out at the beach front. It isn't a culture per say. Some guys in the neighbourhood may decide to go camping to gather woods or hunt games or fishing then end it up in a BBQ roundtable.
Hmmmmm.., these foods you just mentioned are truly yummy
They sure are @cool08. Are you into BBQs?
I think since they have been living as neighbors ffor over ten years, he should be able to know some of those food the neighbor love most.
Ahahah🤣😅🤣 globalization has brought the world together as a small community. There are meals that people of different culture can relate with.
You can at least speak a common language. That alone is enough.
Actually at the time we didn’t speak the same language. They spoke only Japanese and we spoke English. But nice people are nice in any language.
How then do you relate to each other? Do they also understand English?
At the time, they understood some English and we understood a little Japanese so we used translation dictionaries and gestures when we had some difficulty. Otherwise we tried to use easy English and Japanese.
Some neighbors are just too great and kind.
Yeah I feel blessed to have met them. Do you have any experiences where you’ve been helped by someone?
Gratitude is a must. I hope the people in my life know that they are loved and appreciated. In case they don't know I try to practice telling them whenever I get the chance to.
It's always nice to bond and reconnect over some good food.
It's good to help someone and I have done this several times
This reason has has to invite his neighbor for dinner is just to great. Inviting him for dinner will be the best.
My position on this is that good neighborliness is factor for communal growth.
Lovely choice. It is a great thing to show how grateful we are for this little things that make the world a better place and life easier.
His choice is truly lovely.
Indeed! Reminds me of this thing I did once some friends were getting their tittle and I gave a different thing to each one of them.
That’s great of you to do something to support and encourage your friends. I’m sure they appreciated it.
It's the least I could do. They are good friends.
They say birds of a feather flock together.
I'm extra sure that truly appreciate it to the fullest
What ypu gave was not just different but heart touching
😄
Truly the greatest
😎
It's always a good time to catch up with old friends and find out a little about their lives after so long. Good choice
@bearmol awww..they do sound like amazing neighbors. You don't find good neighbors easily. I hope one day you all will meet again.💚🌻
They are indeed awesome neighbors. I hope that some time soon we will be able to reconnect with the whole family again.
Yes, I would do the same with my neighbors at my previous place. They were so lovely and helpful to me when I'd just moved there for living. Now I left already and didn't have their new contact, one day if I have change to see them again, I definitely do like you.
Neighbors are such an important part of what we consider to be our community.
Yes, I think so ^^ Have a great Sunday
It's nice to have a reunion with your former neighbours. Hopefully you guys will be able to meet each other and have good time together 😍
I hope we can all meet some time over the summer holiday.
Truly he has hoed you with what you just said. Such person need to be called for dinner.
Actually it’s not just one person but an entire family. Yes they are really awesome.
What you want to show them I kindness.well done
