What is the difference between countryside and city

Ben Davis May 27, What is difference between city and countryside? Which is better countryside or city? Why is the city better than the country? Why should you live in a city? Would you enjoy living in the countryside? What do you do in the countryside?

Why did the town mouse want to go to the countryside? Where does a field mouse live? Why is there smoke in the town? How can you say that the town mouse was not comfortable in the country? Was the town mouse really ill How can you say? There are many differences between city life and country life. City dwellers live very complicated urban lives whereas those who live in the countryside have simpler, rural lifestyles.

This is one of the most common assumptions that we make about city life and country life. The main difference between city and country is that the population is more concentrated in the city than in the country. City is a large and a highly populated area. As mentioned above, the population of a city is more concentrated than in towns or villages.

Therefore, the city often seems to be a very crowded place. Traffic jams, crowded public trains and buses, busy shopping malls, swarming streets are some of the scenes that come to our mind when we hear the word city.

It can be very relaxing and allow you to fall asleep in no time. Since there is more room and not as many people living in the areas, the housing is generally cheaper and larger. You can find a house for rent that could give you two to four times more room than in the city. You can really get a feel for old Japan and can even experience the traditional side of Japan as well. Japan has so much natural beauty that you may miss out if you only stick to the cities.

There are big forests, tall mountains, huge lakes, Mt. Fuji, and other kinds of places to see. You will be sure to come across traditional aspects of Japan when living or visiting its most precious sites. Almost all of its natural landmarks are open to the public and it would be beneficial to anyone who visits them. You will get a true view of what Japan is. You can still find work, but it takes a little more work to find it. Even though the stations and main buildings will have some, there are many places that will be only Japanese.

There will be even fewer amounts of people who could speak anything other than Japanese. Even Masters degrees and Phds can leave you blending in with the crowd when it comes to job searching. Can feel like a mix between country and city; friendly neighbors, yards, safe, not busy but not overly quiet.

Children can readily play with other children, walk to a playground, experience many cultures. Neighbors watch eachothers kids free of charge, lend a stick of butter, share books and cookies, and so on. A neighborhood feel. Independence Day parties included. If you are someone who prefers to keep to youself, you may have issues.

Suburbans want to get to know you. If homes near you are rented out, it suddenly kills your home value…and you never know who will move in, who owns it, or how long theyll be there. Or itll be taken care of. Can have some of that country gossip here too but rather it being based on prejudicial type issues, its about home upkeep or other childrens behavior. Hi Sofia, Wow — brilliant additions.

And small beach town life sounds pretty good to me as well! Depends whether the country has more ice-cream or if the city has more ice-cream…???? Good point! It also depends on what nation you live in.

Country life in Canada is unbearable there is very little amenities and in some cases you are left to your own devices. Most of these rural towns are dependent on mineral extraction and natural resources which creates a boom and bust economy.

Hey BJ, Do you live rurally in Canada? There are plenty of small rural towns in more accessible and beautiful areas that could be comparable to rural living in the UK, as an example. I wrote this article many years ago when I experienced my first slice of rural life in Australia. For me, I prefer the rural lifestyle. Moving to small town north west.

I truly believe this city life can drive me to insanity. I work in med field and Studies show that people that live in green spaces suffer less from depression and generally live happier. I believe it. I also think living in the city disables people and they become so dependent on modern conveniences. Oh and so materialistic! People rude not very nice out for themselves selfish. Hi Joharyr, I can believe that city-life is less healthy than country-life….

The city can be very disconnecting. And materialistic? Every time I visit or live in a city, my expenses are always higher…. Hi Willis, I would assume by the sheer amount of people living in cities vs the countryside, that crime is much higher in the city. But it also depends on where you go. I love nature, trees, flowers, and wildlife. However, I moved out to the country and the first thing I see is dead and dying deer.

The hunting and poaching is awful and out of control and from every direction. And, law enforcement does nothing to stop it becaue most of them are hunters, too. Hearing gunshots is not my idea of peace, and is very distressing.

Hi Lester, Yes, being in the country near an active hunting area must be difficult. Great post! Even after 9 years and interesting to hear different views. This is my story: I was born and raised in a mountain town in Patagonia, with wildlife and nature on my doorstep.

And will always thank my parents for giving me that. I loved it. My thing is that due to a vision problem, I cannot drive. So I moved away, for study and work, and have been living in cities across Europe for the last 12 years.

The main advantage of this city life for me is not needing a car. So Im done with this. I wanna build the rest of my and my future kids life around grass, trees, water and wild life. Its going to be tough due to my inability to drive, but I cant stand cities anymore. I had this perfect balance in the Sacred Valley of Peru, where I lived about a 10 minute walk outside of Pisac.

I am an Australian City girl from Sydney the eastern suburbs I grew up across the road from the beach. Hi Tracey, Interesting way of saying it — that Sydney is in you on a cellular level — very cool! I think there may be something to that. Cities allow people to come together and exchange information. The country isolates people, what people in the country neglect to realize is agriculture was a revolutionary technology that only happened when people gathered together and exchanged that knowledge, how did they exchange that knowledge..

Personally, I still prefer the city for the knowledge exchange and people in the city tend to be nicer because they encounter people all the time and are forced to learn how to work together or run to the countryside where they can avoid learning how to cooperate.
