A big city is always packed with excitement and there are always many things to do and see. Big cities can bring big-time fun to me! I prefer to visit a small town because it is much quieter. Besides, people in a small town are more friendly and easier to talk to. The best thing is that I can always find something unique in a small town, something that I cannot find in a big city.
