What would a new comer like and dislike about your town? It is almost always the case that a person who has been living in a rural area for a while confronts certain conveniences and inconveniences of living in a city One convenience is the number and diversity of stores and shops available in a short distance A big inconvenience is the traffic congestion that takes place in many places One big thing I remind my foreign friend who is planning to move to my city is that there is cultural diversity My friend is an international student from Japan who is living in a small town in California As a foreigner, he confronts new cultures practiced by the local people everyday On the other hand he realizes that there are few stores and restaurants that are native to his culture It is very normal that such a person gets homesick and starts missing people and products from his own country Moving to a city will satisfy such need of him because there are many stores, restaurants, and supermarkets that are run by Japanese companies so he will less likely to be homesick any more However, there is one big inconvenience about living in a city, which is traffic Especially people who drive often feel stressed on the streets which are always full of cars waiting for other cars to move It is always difficult to find parking spots either in parking lots or on the street Furthermore, apartments not always provide sufficient parking spots to their residents A lot of people who live in city feel less convenient to keep cars and choose to use public transportation However, unfortunately, the public transportation is not perfectly great around my neighborhood My city satisfies and dissatisfies my foreign friend who drives The availability of stores and shops that are native to his country releases his dissatisfaction about being surrounded by different cultures However, on the other hand, traffic that is always the problem in big cities gives new stress which he is currently free from It is a matter of balance between the two features that he needs to settle in
