I agree with you Oshiro As a result of more free time people in smaller city have, they will treat more with each other and even become curious about all the details of everybody's life. I have seen it in many small cities in my country and people of those areas complain about it.
I really love the silence, lower pace of life, healthier air and food of small cities and countryside but social benefits of a large society keeps me into living in a big city. I really do not love to leave Tehran but I hope I have enough money to buy a small house or lodge in county side to benefit its clean environment in my holidays.
