The fellowship of good neighbours

AI Summary

John Lau hosted a neighborhood gathering in Kuching for residents of a road named after the author's grandfather. The author, a lifelong resident, recounted the history of the area, noting that most of the original 14 lots have been sold outside the family. Thirty-nine people attended the potluck, ranging from a toddler to an 80-year-old woman whom the author had known for over 50 years. The event fostered connections among neighbors who, despite living in close proximity, were meeting for the first time.
