I’m a city rat because I like museums, art galleries, theatres, shopping malls. If you live in rural areas you need to be good at gardening. I don’t have a green thumb to grow beautiful plants so I prefer to live in the cities.
The city I live now is Nanjing. Nanjing has more than a hundred wonderful places to go at weekends. It has a few mountains that are built with Buddhist temples, mausoleums, memorial halls. It has many Chinese gardens, parks, lakes and museums.
The place I live near a big river. Both the river banks are developed into a park which strech into far, far away with beautful trees, plants, flowers, paths and bridges. I usually go for a walk along the river bank every evening.
I live in a very rural setting. My town has two family owned restaurants, two antique stores and a gas station. And three of those is in the same parking lot lolol.
I really love the city. I sneak away to Toronto every couple of months for a weekend to myself. I go to concerts and museums and go dancing at clubs. And feel totally free.
But my town is so absolutely deathly boring that it keeps me grounded and stable. I garden in the summer and walk the trails. I can drink coffee on my deck and look at the pretty lake. It’s nice.
I live in a pretty big city it’s nice cause there’s a lot to do. But it’s also kind of sad cause normally I’m too anxious to go out.
But the other nice thing about a big city is it’s full of strangers. Weirdly that’s comforting to me cause I’m more scared of people I’m familiar with.
Living in the city (especially the most populated ones) of a country is more expensive than living in the rural areas. The comparison is population density where there is more people per square kilometer in a city than in the rural areas.
I live in suburban Cape Town, about 35kms from the city centre. I don’t go there often as I hate driving in the city. Me and my husband live in a seaside suburb that has a small town feel. I like cities and i like rural too. My parents live three hours away in a small rural town and i love going there to visit, each time I have to go I don’t want to leave!
I live in a medium sized Midwestern city that has about a million people. I like living in the city. I was at my most despondent and depressed while living a rural life in a very small town. So, now I associate rural life with severe sadness and depression.
