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 do 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.
