Would you like to live in a big city or small town?

I grew up in Zhaoqing, a mid-size city in central Guangdong province. The air is a lot fresher than most of the big cities. There is also a lower cost of living, good scenery, a slower pace and more conservative culture. It has most of the things a city has but is closer to nature. It is also not too far from big cities in case you miss them.

I have lived in a big city, like Guangzhou and Atlanta, for years. I also lived on a small remote Island in South of Georgia for quite some time. The truth is, there are always good and bad things associated with places. I think if you are curious, energetic, young and enjoy having a social life, choose big cities; however, if you are quiet, relaxed, like nature, and enjoy simple things and ordinary people, choose a small place to live.
