The contrast betwee the city living and the countryside is a major talking point for many people. And the opinion differs depening on a certain person's needs. Stereotypically, we imagine old people enjoying the countryside spending countless hours in their gardens. But more and more middle aged people prefer moving to the countryside to get away from the anxiety and stress of the city. Usually these people have had a lot of work experience and managed to earn enough money to make such a life changing move: quit the job, buy a house in a remote village and enjoy their new surroundings probably doing some freelance work. However, young people are longing for the opposite. They tend to move to bigger cities. Why? Well, first of all, it's the matter of education. In Russia all of the most recognized universities are concentrated mainly in large cities, such as Moscow and Saint Petersburg. And everyone knows that good education is your ticket to finding a good job in the future. Also, nobody can argue with the fact that young people really like good entertainment. And big city life has a lot to offer. From museums and galleries to nightlife and famous bands' concerts, buzzing cultural life is probably something that does not quite define the countryside. Following trends is important for a young people. It allows them to express themselves and make a statement, gain popularity and evelop their creativity. And again it's understandable that city lifestyle is incredibly tempting from this point of view. Having said all that, I do actually believe that this choice depends purely on specific person's needs, and som people would probably genuinely prefer to live in the countryside for all the other reasons.
