Holidays: Do you prefer the city or the country?

The beach is great - you can see the power of nature in the sea, which is like a living thing. I prefer to see the sea when it's stormy or at least choppy. Thanks for sharing your views.

Thanks for the great answer Yanstill! I think that living in a rural area near a city gives the ideal balance, and means you can relax completely at home, whilst being near enough to the amenities of a city. I think that countryside and sea-side holidays are definitely the most relaxing and refreshing. Amoy sounds lovely!

good idea!live near the city and still i will not be bored of country life.but if i can get as much salary as working in city that will be better lol.

Fair enough - to each their own! Thanks for your response :-)

Great response - thanks for sharing.

It sounds like you'd enjoy travelling the world for a year or so! There's so much to see isn't there, and so many different environments and cultures. Thanks for your thoughts, and I hope you get to travel and see everything you want to! All the best.

Absolutely. Thanks for your input!

Thanks for your answer. I think it's nice to get into the country, especially if you live in a city. City life can get rather hectic, stressed and silly, whereas the pace of life and simplicity in the country is very refreshing!

Thank-you - so do I. What's your favourite thing about the country?

Thanks for your answer - I think that's probably the case with most city folks - they're used to relying on the cities for their day to day lives, but enjoy getting back to nature once in a while. Cheers.

Thanks for your thoughts! I think that's the problem for most people who live in the countryside - the lack of work for people. In the UK, the price of houses in the countryside is too high for people who were born there to live there when they're old enough to move out of their parents' home. There's also the problem of jobs, and the fact that there aren't many buses, and everything's a long distance from everything else, so if you don't have your own car, it's very difficult. So most of the people who live in the countryside are very rich, and commute to work in the cities, or don't need to work. It's such a shame, because the countryside ought to be for those who want to live there, not just a luxury for the wealthy. I hope you get to go to the country in the future - maybe things will change with the job situation! All the best, and have a good day!

Thanks for your answer - budget does play a big role for most people in which holiday they can afford to take. But if you could afford any holiday in the world, where would your dream holiday be?

Wow! That sounds like a really magical holiday. Nature is so important - we're part of it too - and it can be easy to forget how important it is, and how connected to it we are, and should be. Great answer!

Thanks for your thoughts. Sounds like a nice holiday idea.

It sounds like you like to explore and experience different types of environments and cultures! Travel and experience of different cultures really can broaden the mind, and give people a more rounded perspective (if that's not a mixed metaphor!). Thanks for sharing.
