There are so many things about how the City is so different from the Province. We are all aware about job opportunities and establishments. Well, let’s not forget the people who make the Cities busier and crowded. There’s not much to be found in the Provinces, obviously, that's what makes Cities have become.

Actually, I don’t really like to live in the Cities. I realized quite some time ago, maybe years had passed when I was still working. I told myself when I was still working, again and again; “I would never live here for the rest of my life.” When I had the chance to leave and found opportunities to live in the Province even with a smaller source of income. I didn’t hesitate and immediately grabbed the opportunity.

This is only my own opinion and perspective when living in the Cities. Obviously, it has nothing to do with someone who really loves living in the Cities. First of all, Cities have so many things to offer in terms of source of living and entertainment. I just don’t like the polluted and crowded place, it is as if you don’t know your neighbors which is nice if you want to have a healthy living environment. Also, the crowded place feels like I can’t breathe. There’s that very hot weather even without heat index or summer season. I can’t stand with too much heat that feels like burning.

Even so, I still want to go to the Cities once in a while but only for a short time. Yes, when doing vacation, in fact I am right now. That’s why I have these images captured when I was outside the hotel where I stayed near the mall.

You can find a lot of people in the malls for many reasons. We all know that malls offer almost everything, from food to entertainment. I wonder if there’s nothing you can not find in bigger malls. Although, I don’t think those were the reasons why there were a lot of people outside the mall early in the morning. From what I noticed, it was because of that terminal where Taxis’, Public Buses, Public Motorcycles and many more.

Early in the morning, in fact it was too dark but just exposed because I edited to make sure the images will be visible.

I found a mother maybe bringing her children that just arrived from the Province because I saw them riding in a Taxi. If going to the province, only rich people will ride a taxi; It costs a lot for sure.

See that umbrella with people sitting? That’s like a small fast food but only a cheaper one. When I was going to sleep at 10 in the evening I noticed it was still there serving. When I woke up and glimpsed it I still saw it with people again seated while eating and drinking. Maybe just changed the person who looked at it because it would be a waste when closing even though there are still people who would buy.

When people at the terminal saw someone wearing a bag or just pass by. They would always invite them or ask them if they would ride in public transportation. That’s why some people feel uncomfortable because they might be scammed or be fooled. Just like this woman from a distance was approached by a guy who came from inside the terminal.

Some were still waiting and some were already going. When someone is walking fast, there’s always someone doing the same but crossing in the middle because they are in the opposite directions.

If you’re in the Cities, you only think of your job early in the morning. You need to hurry or else you will be late because of traffic. Instead of having that time to spend with families or loved ones. That time would be used in preparing and going to work early just to make sure not to be late. Well, that’s life but it depends on how you want it to be.
