Living in the city
Living in the city imposes on its inhabitants a frequently hectic life. A high concentration of people and, of activities, the bustle and the excessive noise characterize life in the city.
"A town is like an animal. A town has a nervous system and a head and shoulders and feet. A town is a thing separate from all other towns so that there are no two towns alike. And a town has a whole emotion."
John Steinbeck (extract from The Pearl)
