I used to live in the city and have moved to a small place. Getting used to it all is a *****, I can tell you that, but I will NEVER live in a city again. Everything is slower and more peceful in a small town and once your zoned in to that you will enjoy it. It does have it's hassles, we've been waiting 2 months for them to come and install an extra phoneline... but hey, you learn to live with it.
I love going to work 5 min before I have to be there, as opposed to more than an hours traveling time in the city, and I only worked 6km from home!
I love the fact that people know my name and I know there's and when I'm parked outside a shop someone will recognise my car, stop and run in to say hello.
I love being able to walk to a cafee, that one day my kids can walk too and I win;t have to take them everywhere... the school is a bikeride from home and it's high fashion to ride a bike to school instead of your mom dropping you off!!! The videostore here knows my account number and I don't have to shoow her my card, and when they are two days late noone cares. I know my neighbours here, which I didn't in the city. I can actually "quickly" pop into town. I love reading the paper they have here because I know all the people...
I fell in love with this shithole and will hopefully never have to move to a big city.
