So I live in a (relatively) big city now. I'm always fascinated by the (social) super structure that is a city, and also by public transport inside cities. I like how life here never stops. You can find things to do at all hours of the day. I like all the weird and strange things the city has to offer.

It also has it's downsides. It gets busy, polluted, dirty and noisy. There's an airbnb close to my appartment and the guests party til 6 in the morning sometimes, on weekdays. If you complain, people say 'you live in a big city, what do you expect?' like it's the normal thing to do. I miss nature sometimes.

I think I'll eventually move to a village. Preferably at sea. But to be young in a city is a blessing at the moment.

City or medium size town. Countryside sucks cause of all the annoying critters around. You get way more bugs flying into your home and if you live on a farm you get mice and whatnot in your walls, plus it stinks when the fields are being sprayed with fertilizer. I've experienced both and i much prefer being at a safe distance away from nature. Also people are much less nosy in cities, small town people are incapable of minding their own business. Fucking hated my neighbors when i lived in the countryside. Plus they were all white, middle aged or retired and upper middle class, and a lot of them had serious anger management issues and rumor was there was a lot of domestic abuse going on too. Now i live in a much more multicultural neighborhood and it's great. It's full of Russians, Muslims and Chinese people and it's awesome, not only is the food around here great, it's also a really relaxed atmosphere, the people are friendly but they leave you alone and don't get in your face about shit. There's lots of families too so if we have kids they'll have neighbors to play with, and i get to practice speaking other languages when i go to the shops.
