PART 1 – CITIES
Do you like the city where you are living now?
Without a doubt, I can say that I do love living in my city because of its nature. Our city is not a typical metropolis in which all you can see is a concrete jungle. Ours is semi-urban, we can still enjoy breathing fresh air and at the same time living close to nature.

Do you prefer the city or the countryside?
I’m torn between the two since I love living in the city and the countryside. Living in the city is very much convenient as I have access to very important facilities and establishments. On the other hand, life in the countryside gives me peace of mind as life in there is slow-paced and pollution is minimal.
