which one do you choose, living in the city or in the village?

I feel both of them. From birth until I was 22 I lived in the village. my village is surrounded by hills, many rice fields and near the beach, and the air is very cool. I have never experienced traffic jams because there are only a few vehicles in the village.
but it is difficult to find work in the village, most of us work as farmers, traders and fishermen. income every month is very small just enough to eat. to get 500 dollars we have to wait 3 months of harvest, meaning that the monthly income is around 166 dollars. another one in my village there are no malls, restaurants and cinemas.
I started working in the city at the age of 22 until now. In a very crowded city and has complete facilities such as malls, cinemas, tourist attractions, much more.
for work, I get a fairly large income compared to in the village. but the city is very crowded and densely populated. many factories, motor vehicles and cars, causing traffic jams and lots of air pollution.

I have always lived within a village primarily because my parents do not like the noise in the city. When I got married, I still preferred to stay within another village that is close to my sons school. I don’t think I will enjoy living in the city and its just too expensive to be in that area.

@Young_boy I guess city living isn’t enticing for me back then and even now that I got older. I like the laid back and not too noisy scenary

I have never lived in the village. I have been living in the city since i was born. But last January, we were doing KKN i think you know it, we lived in small village for 40 days. From there we learned alot about how people are so nice to each other and how fresh their weather is

Yes, totally correct. usually people in the village often greet each other like their family. There are so kind and respect to other.

Yes, that's right. The city has many advantages of access to education, tourism and entertainment compared to the village

one of my dreams is to have a passive income and enjoy life in the village. the city is only a place to work

living in the city is also expensive, you are always paying or buying something. you also need transportation to go somewhere.
in the village (or what we call province) you can plant fruits and vegetables, raise farm animals and go fishing. you can share with your neighbors
