I’m not a fan of London, in fact I don’t really like big cities at all, but London is the prime example. I don’t particuarly like going there without reason. People are cold, they will tread on anyone to get to their destination first. It’s dirty, unfriendly, overcrowded, too busy and it’s survival. However it is also the centre of entertainment and a must place to go if you want to have a good time.
Whenever I go to London, I either come back feeling dirty and metaphorically beaten up, or I come back having had a great time going to whatever destination I have been to. But as soon as I hit my home town I can breath again. people talk to me in a civilised fashion. It’s a smaller community where people generally get on and smile at each other, none of this dog eat dog scenario. It may only have three pubs and not so much interaction, but it’s home and I feel involved and comfortable. But I’ll go to bed thinking about my big night out in the big dirty city.
You need a small place, but without the big place what a dull world we would live in. Find a smaller online community if you get tired of what goes on at JC, but you will go back to the big place because it has a buzz the smaller place can only offer in small chunks. The small place always feels more relaxed but we all need that buzz sometimes.
