那位公务员态度特好,说按惯例右手的门牌号是应该从双号开始,第二户门牌号应该是4。听了后我的头开始变大,但还是壮着胆子小声地问了一句:"Is there any possibility to change that?",没想到公务员说因为小街还没开发,所以门牌号还没开始做,如果我有充分的理由,他也可以从单号开始。我马上抓住了这根救命的稻草,和他讲明华人不喜欢数字“4”,因为和“死”谐音。他听了后大笑了起来,说,那好,就换成单号开始吧。

回复 '最西边的岛上' 的评论 : LOL, that means: when you left that house - I was in Israel too (I enlisted in Sar-El programme, then Mahalnik) -
I will stop here, nope, can't & won't elaborate...not yet
Actually we spent about 9 years in that house before moving to current city. Yes, time flies, do feel another time/world for sure ;-).
Interesting story of U and Ur friend on the 2nd millennium day. Guess everyone was young once and U are still young ;-). May the adventures stay with each of us forever!!

Between 1999.12.31 and 2000.01.01, I spent all my day in Old City Jerusalem with my one of my friend's and his parents (he's a "architect with no job" - Columbia Uni graduate 11 or 12)
See, caz his Mom's Persian-Mizrahi, so he & I managed to fool the temple mount's security guards and entered golden doom free of charge on 1st Jan 2000 (and scared the shit out of the Female Israeli Border Guards stationed at the entrance for hours)~~~

一直在同一個房子裡住真好
是的,建新房的选料过程是很有意思。不过也有省事儿的。比如我先生的哥哥就觉得我们的经历太麻烦,他几年后买新房时是用建商的标配,说肯定比他选择得好。
从无到有,真好。
我家也是小区中的先驱,去的时候两边对面都还没有邻居,不过我们买的时候已经建好了地基,就是各样的挑选材料头有点晕。:)
谢谢来访。
谢谢来访。
我们平常很喜欢到处看建筑,我自己比较关心和房子有关的事情,喜欢了解本地房地产市场,也喜欢DIY(如可能的话),因为做成了以后特有成就感哈。:-)
谢谢夸奖。不是什么猛人,只不过大家兴趣不同,各有其长!
