If you are the type of person who loves to meet many different people from different cultures and
social status, then the city life is better for you. The city is where people from all different
background and status come to work and live because everything is so centralized in the city.
The city's population is also more concentrated, so you also have a higher chance of meeting
people. In the country, the distance between other people is harder, so it is less convenient to
meet other people. Hence, if you want a busy social life, the city is better.
If you have asthma or you are really sensitive to pollution, then the country lifestyle is best for
you. In the country there is much less pollution because there are less cars, traffic and
industrial plants in the country. There are also more trees, rivers and other natural scenery. If
