Big City:
--> Lot of information are available on Internet.
--> There are a lot of places to visit, restaurants to eat etc. The variety means you can’t get bored.
--> Most of the time, it will be crowdy.
Small City:
--> Definitely, it is less crowdy.
--> You get to know almost everyone.
--> On the downside, there are not not so many touristic attractions, but there may be many villages or other towns nearby, therefore certain opportunities for some tours.
--> A small town, especially one away from big cities offers fresh air
If you wanna go for any outing then at that moment, it depends on the state of mind and level of tiredness.
Hey nice blog

Every place has its own advantages and disadvantages
its up to us how we balance the good and bad
Two good difference:
SC:: if you fall sick / and minor accident ( :)) , you will find a line of people to visit you to know abt your health.
BC:: even neighbor wont interested to come and see you.
-------
SC:: if you are bachelor and stay in rented house, house owner / neighbor will keep sending dishes regularly..
BC:: even on festival no one send you sweets..
Very innovative, loved it!
Nice One....Straight from the heart it seems...
I would like to add:
Small Cities: Less opportunities, More happiness,Good Health
Big Cities: More opportunities, More money, Diminishing health, Happiness - whats that??
But, I really like the simple way you put down your thoughts!!
Keep blogging..and hey adopt a theme...it would help you blog for long time...

You know all the neighborers by name in small places, they know you, talk to you, join in all festivals whereas in city, every one is stranger and act like strangers!
I loved all your points!!! They are so very relevant to today's lifestyle.
Thank you to all of you for the comments and the support. :)
