I'm living in the city right now, working and do all things. Of course, we can get more money in the city than village, but at the same time we spend more money living in the city than the village. The city is good enough but in my opinion village life is a better place and someday i want to spend my life in a village. i believe that life at the village is much better than the city, because there is no air pollution, slow living, and not stressed , no traffic jam. In my opinion, living in the village can give you a peace of mind and that's the most important thing so our life can be longer.

I prefer living in the city.

because I was born and raised in the city of Jakarta. In my opinion, there are many good facilities and good job opportunities.

In my experience, living in the city gives access to more facilities or places than in the countryside, such as hospitals with good service, malls, and sports areas.

I know the living cost maybe higher than the countryside. But speaking of the comfort, convenience and the all opportunities, I think it's worth it.

In my experience, I prefer to live in the city because so many job opportunities are available, even with high cost of living but if I wisely spend the money, I believe that it will be enough. This high cost of living has also come with a lot of accessible facilities. There are hospitals nearby with many options of public transportation, so we don't have to have a private car or motorcycle, schools with many varieties economic, like cheap school and expensive ones. I like to live in the city because it always has a beautiful view at night with high rise building and all the lights surrounding it, although the people/the environment are more selfish than in the countryside, but I believe there are some nice people who can truly be friends without blood connection. There are many recreation places in city, like malls, food courts in an open space not only in the mall-I mean. This is my opinion about the life that I like, thank you.

I prefer to live in the village because it is a serene and peaceful lifestyle. Surrounded by nature, we can enjoy fresh air, scenic views and a strong sense of community. While facilities may be limited compared to the city, but many villages have large parks, playgrounds and sport facilities, it has a market with cheap costs too.

In my opinion, the cost of living in a village is cheaper than in the city. You can grow a lot of vegetables and fruit. By planting vegetables and fruits, you can harvest and sell them and then earn a good income.

I enjoy living slowly in the village, enjoying my morning coffee with fried casava or fried banana. Village living suits those seeking a quieter lifestyle.

From the 2 pictures above, I will pick to live in the city. In the city, there are so many facilities available I can choose. If I want to be refreshing, I prefer to go to the shopping center to buy that I want, and I can go with the public transportation such as Bus, MRT, or motorcycle. Or If I am sick, so many option clinic and hospitals that I want to check or treatment.

In my experience living in the city can make me grow in my personal life and in my career, because there are so many job opportunities in big cities.

Personally, I am happy with the crowded environment, so I enjoy living in the city.

I prefer to live in the village it's very quiet and has less pollution, in my opinion the cost of living in the village is very cheap and the people are friendly. I believe that because in the city feel always busy and I don't enjoy it.

I will be a content creator who makes a video to share everyone about the village like gardening or the farm and will get money from it. I saw many videos like that made me relax.

I am living in the city because it has more facilities. There many options of school for my son, hospital, and other entertainment. and in the city is support for public transportation.

But for support the living cost in the city you must have a lot of money and do not worry in the city because many jobs opportunities.

the problem in the city is high level of air pollution and noisy environment. if you have no problem with the crowded situation, the city is good for you.

I choose living in the city for young period and the village for retirement.

I think, i prefer to live in the mountains. like salatiga city or Malang City for example.

where i can get freshair every day and look beautiful place. in my opinion, although there are not many job opportunities, but the cost of living there is cheaper and we don't need to stress seeing the traffic jams in the capital.

personally, i think the job oprtunity can be obtained by open online shop. we can sell vegetables or open a grocery store.

You must try first and you will agree with my opinion.

I like living in the village when I retire, I love going back to nature. There we can get clear air to breathe, no pollution for elderly people.

The cheap cost of living, I think money is not really needed, because everything we need can get from nature, or we can harvest from the garden, and we get fresh vegetables or eggs from the poultry farm.

You know, like Harvest Moon game. I believe that it’s so fun to live in the Village, helping each other, no worries about the job and enjoying the night sky

Which place do you prefer to live? If i'm still working I prefer to live in the city because it has public transportation, you can go where ever you want easily, if you need to buy something you can go to the mall and go shopping, if you got sick you can go to the hospital. I believe that there is a lot of school in the city, you can study with your friend, or you can work in the cafe.

But if I'm already retired, I prefer to live in the village, you will have a cheaper cost of living. Village can give peaceful and less stress. You can do farming or gardening, living in the village also has clean air rather than city has pollution which bad for our health
