Life in the city. What can I say? Me, I am just a simple country boy who found his great love in the heart of the big city. Liz that is. (Liz being a woman rather than a city.) Personally I find the city crazy making. One would have to be nuts to want to live in a big city (I know Toronto, ON, Canada isn't a big city by some standards, but to little ol' me from the sticks it is.) or in Love.
Too many people too close together doing there best to pretend that everybody else isn't there and that all this congestion is healthy and normal.
In the sticks where I hail from you could run a fan all summer and not have to clean it once, here in the big city it is necessary to clean a fan almost weekly for the amount of gunk that builds up. I have troubles imaging that breathing city air is a healthy thing.
That is all I have for now, except 'Have a good one.' to anyone who happens to read this.

London UK shares many of these problems - high population density and awful pollution. Going on the tube is also hazardous! - The amount of brake dust that enters your lungs really shows. If only transport was a little cleaner or easier
