Growing up in the province I always wanted to go to Manila and experience the city life. Taste different food and visit new places. When I was little I think that it more better to live in the city than living in a small province of ours. Now that I am able to experience city life, I get to realize that it is more better living in the province than in the city.
Here are some things than I found better in the province than in the city:
FRESH AIR
Yes that fresh air we always wanted. Instead of going to Luneta or other places with lots of trees, I just sit in our terrace and tadda fresh air is already available.
FRESH FOOD IN CHEAP PRICES
Seafood, fruits and vegetables are available in cheap prices and sometimes they are free!
NO TRAFFIC
Yes no traffic at all. You can go to any places you want not being late. The roads are wide enough for you to travel as fast as you can.
NEAR TO BEACHES AND RIVERS
You don't need to drive too far just to experience swimming in a beach of experience falls in the river. Just take a walk or an hour motorcycle ride and you can reach a beach or a river you wanted.
RELAXING AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT
No car smokes, no noisy neighborhoods and no crimes. You go out of the house anytime you wanted and still feel safe.
If I were to choose a place to live I would always prefer living in the province and just having vacations in the city instead of living in the city and having vacation in the province.
