11 Funny Comparisons of Those Who Live in Big Cities to Those Who Live in the Countryside

Many of those who were born in small towns and in the countryside want to escape to the big city as soon as possible. Of course, this move has certain advantages: higher salaries, better entertainment, and a richer cultural life. But a quiet life in a small town also has its advantages: clean air, natural food, always someone to talk to, and if you get too lonely, neighbors will immediately find you a match.
