I never thought that I would like to livein a big city, but I was wrong. After two years of living in one, I can't imagineever living in a small town again.I love the excitement of big cities. Small towns havea slower pace. Inlarge cities you have to adapt to a variety of situations, like finding a new routeto work or trying a new restaurant. I enjoy that challenge very much.
