the Neighbour

Well, after talking for so long and so much I think it's time to show to all of you who my neighbour is and explain this strange character.
Me and Rosane met J.M. (as he likes being called) when we were trying to put my mattress inside the apartment. As you can imagine that was a very difficult task: the stairs, the doors, everything is too small, to let pass a bed. But for Jan that was a very easy task... However the first impression that me and Rosane had wasn't very good: for us, he was quite a cold person, who didn't want to talk much and liked keeping a certain distance... a typical Dutch :D
That all changed, when we saw him for the second time: his car was stolen and he was completely crazy!!!
Of course, the perception we had in the beginning was changing every time we went out with Jan... He's one of the cleverest persons I know and it's quit interesting to have a discussion about religion with this guy, or any other subject. In addition, he is a person with strange hobbies. For example: how can a doctor be a poker professional?! And with this question I mean how can a scientific person like him depends on luck?! And if you look at the picture, you will see a very strange scarf... well, let’s just say that he is a compulsive consumer!!!
Besides this peculiar behaviours, Jan (or "Doc" for some of us) is a great friend... he's always available to help, and his way of living amazes me... he just doesn't care about money or any other superfluous things, however he has to understand that even the most shallow person can have something interesting to say...
