/^t/Many people say that life in a small town is slow and boring. In a big city it is more interesting because there are many opportunities to spend free time. There are the cinemas, theatres, pubs, discos, art galleries and so on. When people feel like going out in the evening they can choose from a great variety of possibilities. It is true that there are not so many places to go out in small towns, but it does not mean that their dwellers must be bored. Actually, to have a good time we do not need many pubs and discos but a group of good friends, time and a good humour. People in big cities usually suffer from lack of time and friends because life is very fast and they work very hard. In small towns life is slower and their inhabitants have time to enjoy themselves. They can organise something, for example a concert or carnival and have a good time in a group of friends, because in small communities the people usually know each other.
