Village or city

As you know, I’m from Pobla, some days I think I’m lucky for live in here, because maybe it could be worse, but I think here I’m wasting the time. Villages are boring, unless you are a grandma, or grandpha, or maybe if you have your husband/wife and you’ll have children, but for teenagers, it’s quite similar all the days.
We can’t do anything special, specialy in winter. From my point of view, Pobla is great in summer, where you can do a lot of things, for example; go to the river, the lake, the swimming pool, in general you can do more exciting things than the city, but in winter, in Pobla returns the tedium. All the people in the village are at home, and the only thing we can do is going to ski, or going out with your friends to have a coffee or a drink at night.

But I’m the kind of person, that think “where you go, you’ll have good time, if you have a good sense of humour, or good friends, or nice day… or…whatever you want..” like the song : Don’t worry, be happy.

Living in a town or in a city

Living in a town like La Pobla de Segur is fun in its own way. There are many activities for Teens, but if you have a park for children, an old pool and rooms recreation for the elderly, who do not want to stay in home without doing anything, but in the end is okay. But I would like to go to a city, to see the difference in place to meet new people, new places, and fun different… but never forget my people and they are great friends and I hope that always are. But the people are nicer, calmer and not as much stressing in the city.

Being young in a mountain village

Some people say that it's difficult to be young in a mountain village. I think that they are wrong, because living in a mountain village has got of course disadvantages for the youth, but the advantages are more important than them.

The principal advantage that we’ve got in a mountain village is our freedom. Since we are very little children we can go out alone, without any adults, and, of course, we can go out at night younger than young people who lives in the city, which aren't allowed to do that.

Another advantage is the contact with the nature. We are very near it, and if you love, like me, hiking and cycling and other sports in the nature, you can practice that. You only have to do two metres and you are in the middle of the nature.

I said that there are disadvantages for the youth in la Pobla. First of all, we haven’t got a lot of things to do here. We can’t play exotic sports, we can’t go to a good cinema or to good discos, we can’t assist to a concert of our favorite music star, we haven’t got good shops… If you want to do all these things you have to move to a bigger place, like Lleida or Barcelona.

Another disadvantage is our future. If we want to study a University degree we have to move to another city, because we can’t commute to Lleida each day with public transport, and some young people haven’t got car, and the same if we want to work in a good job related with our studies, we have to move to other places, because a lot of qualified careers aren’t offered in our area.

But in spite of these disadvantages, I think that la Pobla is a good place for live, and I’m very well here.

I like living in la Pobla de Segur

I like living in la Pobla de Segur because it is more quiet and there isn't pollution. In a village every body know you; however, in a big city you can walk by the street and nobody says anythink to you. The avantatges of living in a city are there is & cinema, hospitals, shops and lot of places to go. on the other side, there isn't forest, mountains and lakes. The advantatges of living in a village is that you can stay in the street quiet, climb in the mountain, ride horse, skiing and rafting.
In conclusion, I prefer living in a village because the vision is more beautiful and it is safer because there isn't violence and drugs.

Village or city

I’m love living in the village because the city is more stressing, and in the village & is more calm, although in the city there are many but things: bars and discotecs, and more shopping centres, but the village is more beautiful because there are many mounts and everything is green.
In conclusion, I’m prefer the village because is better than the city, love the mounts and the green colour.

TOWNS vs VILLAGES

I think that make a decision about this is so hard because the two options have his advantages and disadvantages.
For example in a city you can find more services in less time than in a village, but if you have children in a small village they can play on the street without dangers.
Other examples are the pollution that you breathe in a town; in a village you hadnt it. Good for the cities are the parties that the people make in it's and more examples.
But my conclusion about this answer is the solution that a lot of people are using now, from Monday to Friday on the city and the weekends in the village.
