ALEX
I used to live in a small village called Żmudź (next to Chełm) in Poland. It was not typical village. People didn't know how fresh air smells like and we had flats there, one restaurant, 3 or 4 shops with clothes, 5 normal shops ,2 schools and a bank. You would find there a cow obviously but it would take a time. As I remember no one had to use a car, there was no point to do that because it took like 20 minutes to get through all village. I always had a fresh vegetables in my house because I got them from neighbours. Everyone had their own garden and a garage 5 minutes from their house. Kids from 5 to 16 had their own tradition. We were meeting outside every evening and we were playing games like a hide and seek. Our parens weren't scared about us because everyone knew each other. The greatest advantage of Żmudź is that you can easily keep in touch with people and you will never feel alone. To be honest I like it better than a life in a big city.

ANDI - Debrecen

szolanics_andrea — 2016-09-25 12:54:22 UTC

Debrecen is the secod biggest city in Hungary after the capital city. Also the city has a lot of village. I grew up one of them called Dombostanya. It is a real village with animals nice and not as nice old people and with good neighbors. When you are walking on the street you can see people who are riding a horse or a bike or driving a tractor.
There is only a shop which is open from Monday to Saturday, a pub and a kindergarten and we also have a train station. We don`t have school there, so I needed to go to the city to the school. It wasn`t as good because I had to wake up really early and going with car or with train for far away. But I loved it because every morning when I woke up I gave food for our animals and I didn`t care how early is it. In In a village everyone know each other and it`s sometimes good and sometimes isn`t that good because if you are change something for example on you are gonna be the subject for a week. Everyone has a house usually with a big garden because there is living a lot of farmer and they need the space cared for animals and plants. As I said there is only a shop and a pub so we don`t have to much feasibility for free time activities so from this the adults are really love to drink alcohol. They are usually find in the pub. Some of them doesn`t have job or if they got, it is only on the soils.And the life can be really hard for them.
If you are a kid there, your life is perfect leastwise mine was fabulous. I could go with my friends everywhere I wanted without ask my mom because the village is small and safe and you know everyone. I was outside from morning to late night. That`s why I got flaps from my mom sometimes.
In short, I think the life is much,much better in a village than in a city because the city is really noisy for me.

Julia-Ślepowron

julia_zebrowska28 — 2016-09-25 15:33:16 UTC

Before I came to Scotland I lived in a small village in Poland, called Ślepowron .It is situated near to Radom.There lives only about 500 to 700 people,so almost everyone know each other,Almost everyone in this village is a Christan and Almost everyone have animal,mostly cats,dogs or horses.We have only two shops,one church,primary school and for recently restaurant and barber. If you live in this village it is better for you to have a car,because to city goes only one bus from monday to friday every hour or two but on saturday,sunday and holiday every three or four and only to 21 or 22 o'clock. As I already said there is only primary school, in Poland we are learning in this school 7 years. So when I finished this school and I started education in new school in the city. It took me about 20 minutes by bus to get to this school,so not that bad. Ślepowron is a beautiful place.There are a lot of beautiful open space,forest,little lakes and the perfect way to riding a bicycle. With my best friend, we have a few favorite places and I can't wait to come back there. At night there is complete silence what I love,only sometimes you can hear dogs and in summer Grasshopper. I'm glad that I spent my childhood there, not in the city. So If you love nature,quiet and you have a car this is village for you.

Edinburgh - Magda Z :)

magdalenazajac29 — 2016-09-25 16:14:46 UTC

I moved to Edinburgh the capital of Scotland from small village 4 months ago. I'm so happy that I'm living here because I think I'm very different person now. My life is better when I moved to Edinburgh, because I can work but when I was in Poland I couldn't work because it was difficult to find a place of employment. So I can make money by myself and study in the same time.
If you want to live in town you need to know that it's a lot of negatives and positives.
The first things you should know when you moved to Edinburgh are:
- In town is so dirty
- It's more expensive
- When you living in city centre you can hear cars all the time.
- In town are a lot of people sometimes they are shouting, it's so annoying
- Difficult to find a true friends
The good things when you want to live in Edinburgh are:
- You don't have to buy tickets because everything are in the same street,
- You have a lot of shops
- You can spend day better in city than village.
- You can met new people
- People don't know you and don't judge what you are wearing.
I think I feel better when I moved to Edinburgh from village because when I was there it was so difficult when I was go to the shops I needed to ask my mom when I wanted get out with my friends because it was to far to city when they living. Now I have a lot of buses so it's easier for me. Also people in town are so different than people from village. They are more confident, helpful and friendly. I think I will help you.

Thanks for your attention. :)

However now the most important city is Capital Warsaw. There is an particulary importan academic center with about 130,000 students and the third biggest Polish University which is called Adam Mickiewicz University. Near my neighborhood is park which is called Solacz is small and quite perfect for relax in free time. Also there is the Inea Stadium on which Euro 2012 was played.

I moved to Edinburgh the capital of Scotland from a small village of Italy, 1year and 5 months ago.I'm so happy that I'm living here because i found more freedom for teenagers. My life was a little bit changed because of the way of my study.In Italy you need to complete your any course than you should found the work.In Edinburgh,if you want to live in a town/village you need to know that there are a lot of negative and positive things.The negative things are: - the village could be dirty because of animals;
-more expensive,-you have to get ticket or you have to drive for going anywhere.
When you are living in a city centre you can -hear the noise of traffic,trains;-you should found people from diffrent countries;-every time new people(tourists);-you don't judge the people or people don't dudge you because you should wear how do you want(more other things).

Lublin - Kacper M

kacperos5106 — 2016-09-25 18:38:30 UTC

Lublin, the biggest city in Eastern Poland and home to 365 thousand inhabitants is the place where I used to live before I moved to Edinburgh. Living in Lublin isn’t much different than living in other cities in Poland, There is a huge variety of shops, bars, restaurants and sport facilities.

The public transport in Lublin is very convenient due to many different types of transport, Lublin is where one of four existing trolleybus networks in Poland is operated (the other three locations being Gdynia, Sopot and Tychy).

There are colleges and universities in Lublin so the city buzz with energy at night due to many students living here. There are also many different events held annually in Lublin such as: The Night of Culture, "Codes" Festival of Traditional and Avantgarde Music, "Theatre Confrontations", the International Dance Theatre Festival, the 'Magicians' Carnival, the Jagiellonian Fair, or the "East of Culture".

What I really loved to do in Lublin was looking at the beautiful skyline of the old town from my flat which was on the 7th floor and going out with my friends to wander around the city.

Shihab-Sudan

2016-09-25 20:16:46 UTC

Sudan, In Sudan i lived in my small village and the population doesn't exceed 10,000. The life in my village so easy, wide and simple like no rules no police station which it is sometimes good and other is bad you just live your life as you want it to be, The good things in my village we all know each other and help each other other side we don't have problems or crimes so that's why i think knowing each other is a good thing and one of our culture in my country, This was part of the positive stuff about living in a village, Now i'll talk about the negative stuff in the village. We clearly struggling to live a good live because there was not schools in my village so we had to travel everyday to other village, So most the children in my village grow up without education and i was't one of them. We didn't get the luxury life like going to the cinemas,cafes,parks etc.. it was so hard to travel to town because my village is 5 hrs far, so it was like once or twice yearly to enjoy a day and go to shopping,resturants,parks and cafes with family. Now i moved to Edinburgh and i'm not that far from town, So moving to Edinburgh has made my life so easy and enjoyable.
