I like to live in the small town. I don't like to live in a big city because i don't like noisy surroundings. Even though that there are lots of opportunities in the city but still I like to stay in the province.

Yeah. I am interested to hear that, too. What kind of fun do you have? What do you do in your free time?

I personally prefer to live in a small town or out in the country close to a Metropolitan area within a short commuting distance. The problem with living in the country is that there are no services so you have to go into town to buy groceries, see the doctor or use entertainment facilities. However if you live close to one it is a minor inconvenience that you put up with to enjoy the country life. The only time being in the country that's it becomes a problem is when we get to heavy snowstorm but you can plan for this eventuality by stocking up on food and having a working wood stove with a supply of well seasoned wood.

I used to live in a big city when I was younger until we transfer in a private subdivision few years ago. Our current place is like a small town: very peaceful, quiet, polluted less, and a great place for relaxation. Even though I love where I live right now, I have to admit I miss living in a big city because you can have everything there. I actually still go there since it can only take me about 2 hours to commute except the cost is too very expensive but I don't really care.

small town vs big city - With the development of our society, more and more choose to live in peace and quiet small towns instead of big cities.
I was born in a small viliage. But if I have some chances to make a decision, my choice is a small town obviously. I spend my college life in the big city. During the several years, I have witnessed the dirty side of big city. You see, living in a small town, life is more quiet and peace and the people there are have a good realationship with their neighbors. The air there are so fresh that like while the big city is full of pullution. If people choose to live in a big city, everyday, then may have to learn to face the troubles of noise, pollution, competition, traffic jam and so on. In fact, in the recent years, some people have cnahged their ideas and tend to live in the small towns instead of big cities.

I prefer to live in a big city as there is a lot of opportunities for job and recreation alike. Pollutions aside, i think most of the good things are more in the city than in small towns.

I live in New Delhi, a metropolis. My city is full of opportunities and that is why every day thousands of people come here in search of jobs. But city is really crowded and pollution is very high. Some time I think of leaving it and going back to hometown (a small town) which is in Kumaon Hills of Himalaya range. I like my hometown because there is no pollution, no noice, no crowd and one get ultimate peace there. But I can not get a good job there like I have here in New Delhi. Whenever I get time I go to my hometown. So I will prefer small town to live in instead of big city.

thanks for your comment,and i agree with you,living in a big city maybe sometimes for a good job,a decent pay or some oppotunities to meet other people ,but live in small town would bring us a peaceful and health,but not money and reputation and etc.so sometimes people get confused what to choose.

Hello Winnie. If I would have a choice and the possibility, I would live in a country side, lots of space all around, beautiful and scenic sites, quiet and peaceful, fresh air without any pollution ! But, right now, on the contrary, I am living in a big city, all the opposite. But, in any case, I am in a suburb of the city, a bit away from the busy, noisy, downtown core.

I would rather live in a small town then a big city. I don't like living on top of other people. I like my space. Not to mention the polution in big cities its just not a good way to live as far as I'm concerned.

I live in a small city and there are not many opportunities here. There are not to many jobs here but another city about 8 miles away does have more job opportunities. Even though there are not many job around here I still like living in a small city.

I live in the biggest city in my country and I like it. It is great to have so many opportunities, to know so many people, to have so many places to go and have fun. I do really love this city because I am dynamic person and I don't know how I will fit in some small city. I love the opportunities that my city gives me. There are more jobs that I can apply to, of course plus that there is more competition in everything not only for the jobs. There is more competition for the university entries. There is competition for the whole life. But I like that. I like to test myself and see what I can do and what I can't. I really want to develop in environment like this. I want my day to be a dynamic full of events, meetings, emotions... Maybe when I get older I will want to go to a silent place and to get rest there. But for now I adore the place where I live! :)

I lived in the big city most of my college life. I've seen the worst part of it. Now that I already have a family, I buy a house outside the city and spent 3 hours a day just to get to work. Its a sacrifice one must do if you wanted the best for your family. And the good thing is, we are many who are doing this big sacrifice for the sake of our family.
