If you seek a good education, the city have better and more schools, and centers than country side. If you are seeking a job, the city also have more big companies and groups for your choice. If you are seeking entertainment, the city has cinema houseS and entertainment centers. All other facilities like banking, postal, and telephone are easILy available in a city. But each has got its own advantage as well as disadvantage. In the city, everyone IS a slave to the clock. And every one hAS to live in A polluted environment.
