Popular in the big cities is about 2 millions so there're many challengers and opportunities when we living there such as you can study, earn more money by open the company, restaurant, repair shop, carry out the additional job in the weekend. But you can get some tired due to high competitive, bad environment, traffic. Against with those in provincial life is pleasant, day by day no change, you don't worry about the job, how to living tomorrow but may be dull even good environment, farms. Sometimes we can't decide the living location. It's depend on the job. If we have good job, income enough, we don't care the living condition, we can't decide everything in our life.

I`m living in a provincial city but i`m studying in a bigger city in Sibiu . I`m pretty happy in my provincial city , but in Sibiu too . There are both so beautiful . I forgot to mention . I live in Valcea . But Valcea isn`t a little city . It`s in the middle . As about the job, it`s like the same thing , maybe just because Sibiu it`s bigger , you`ll find easier a job, but i love Valcea a lot . I don`t know if i`ll live in Sibiu or in Valcea , but any of them will be ok .

I just want in the province because less pollution, fresh air, floods, and we can work just ride in a jeepney with out in a hurry. I can also see to it that the children are in good condition since I can assists them in any undertakings they will be in. Since we are living in the province. And also the cost of living is very low, unlike when you are living in the cities the cost of living is very high.

i prefer big cities. I spend more of my years living on my own in a big city. though i was raised in a farm but i was sent to the city when i was high school until college. it's okay with me living in a provincial place but as long as it has internet connection hahahaha.. and lots of books to read. i would love that. it's okay to have someone to be with too.

I live in a city but it's not a busy one. It still is a city with a touch of rural life, a suburban. I have been to big major mega cities but only for a few days and weeks and I don't think I can survive living in it for many years. And i don't also like to live in province like dwellings like in a farm you said, for now, no, but in retirement perhaps, why not? Suburbans are the places where you can have both of the big city life and the rural life.

I believe that most of us including myself prefer to live in the rural or provincial town, if we have a choice. The reasons are obvious. It's less hectic, the people are friendlier and more sociable, everyone knows each other, shops are not too far away and the air is generally fresher. However, reality is that most of us just end up living in the city to earn a living, and perhaps get married there to a city girl.

I don't! I need to be in the city- a big one, too. I can't even stand to be in the suburbs.

Hi anna. Well, we have a choice. Not everyone could live in suburbs or rural life as they believe there's "no life" there, thus will be bored in no time. To the rest of us, living in the suburbs is simply heavenly, and is a good place to retire.

Living in a big city is better, at least, in my opinion. I grew up in a small town in which world's many famous sceneries located in my country. Also the environment there is rather comfortable for people to live and competition for survival appears to be tempered. All these contribute to a satisfying of contemperory situation of citizen there. When I moved to a big city, the capital of my country,for university study, consepts and opinions in my mind changed. Various culture and customs appears to me and I could perceive and analyse information in various directions with more understanding of distinct culture. Fierce competition would waken me up that what many shortcomings I am. Meanwhile, chanlleges and chances become more and more. Therefore, thanks to this city, I brighten my outlook and gaining a lot of skills for life.

I was born and brought up in a small town where we used to get all the essential items. After school I moved to a metro city for higher studies. And againafter college I got married to a guy whowas born, brought up and also lives in a metro city. I feel the life in a small town is entirely diffrent from that of a metro. People hardly know their neighbours, they are so busy with their lives. The advantage is that all possible items are in your hands reach, there is better facility for education banking, u name it. But one thing these people miss out is the life or atleast the attachment to nature. In cities everywher it is concrete...My husband doesnt know which one is a jack fruit tree or a teak tree is...he doesnt know how to walk with slippers on sand or soil...there are no lakes or ponds here to go fishing...or even to climb a tree you need to go to the park and get permission from the authorities!!! It is always better to reside somewhere between big cities and villages.
