It's hard to go home now and be with my family because of this Condition right now. Life in the City is hard you cannot have free vegetables, fresh fruits and you cannot have anything here without money. Compared in my home town a lot of vegetables and fruits there in our backyard i can eat anytime i want but here i need to buy banana in order to eat it.I still love my hometown. Because i love banana more than other fruits so i took this one. This photo i took during my vacation last year i do not know what type of banana is this. thank you for reading.

That's one of the reasons why I'd like to live in the province someday - free fruits and vegetables, etc.

You are lucky that you have a home in the province to speak of. I was born and raised in the city that I am already happy that we were able to buy a home in the suburbs.

You`re right being in the city is really hard. I hope you`ll have the chance to have a good vacation at your hometown. For now, we just have to pray that everything will be ok soon with this virus

I miss my hometown too. Because of this pandemic travelling is quite hard nowadays. You just can't travel easily as long as you want.

City life is sure hard. I live in between city and farming. In Japan there are apartments which have small farms next door and there is one across from me. The farmers put out the fresh food with a container for money and we can buy fresh from that field for cheaper than in the store.

yes comparing the life in the City and my province now is a bit different because of lifestyle. Cannot grow plant here even tomato because soil is not available

@Shunnan That is amazing! I heard that eating fresh bananas that have ripened on the tree, taste so much better. I eat a few bananas every week.

small towns are better than cities. Cost of living is cheaper in small towns and every house has small garden which grow essential fruits and vegetables. So you need not buy from market.

I will forever prefer province life more than city life. I grew up in a place where it’s outside the city and it’s much fun and I miss it so much because I now live in the city and just goes back there every Christmas.

About bananas, I have an interesting experience. Some time ago, I went to a resident's home in my city. She has a banana tree that is already bearing fruit. there are 1000 fruits that grow on banana trees. the owner, a mother, named him a thousand bananas. this is very unique to me. While in other areas, there are banana trees of that type. Hehehe
