How do country and city people have fun.

The majority of Americans can be placed into two categories. One category is made up of those who dwell in the city and the other category consists of people dwelling in the country. It does not matter whether they sleep under the twinkling stars or the glow of a streetlight they both enjoy their leisure time. Some may spend it in different ways but some are very similar.
Both city dwellers and country dwellers enjoy a cup of coffee as they read their daily news. People love to grill out, whether it is in their drive way or next to a barn. A bike ride is fun both on the side walk or a wood path. Both groups have hobbies such as model building, reading, or surfing the internet. Who doesn’t fill that play full itch as a board game is brought out. Even though the music may be different people all over the place listen to the radio. Every one eats pop corn as they watch a scary movie, curled up on the couch. Gardens, though the size may be different are used to brighten anyone’s day. A nap is welcome by both the office worker and the farm hand after a hard day’s work.

There are some setbacks to living in the country. It’s not very convenient trying to go bowling and it’s impossible to order out. City dwellers are close to where everything seems to happen. Some hang out at the movies or mall with their friends. The museums and zoos are nice treat when living in the city. There isn’t many places in the country you can skate board and roller blade, but the city has skating rinks, parking lots and sidewalks or you can draw on them with chalk. The tanning bed or gym is a not so distant retreat.

Those that live in the country get to partake on their own kind of fun, like camping by the pond, listening to the crackle of the fire. It’s hard to go hunting in the city but in the country you got your back yard to go. Country dwellers get to go mud bogging, four wheel driving and dirt bike riding. Bird watching and Horseback riding is also some common fun. Astronomers love how clear the air is in the country sky. Out in the country people enjoy hiking, kayaking, rock climbing and cur plunking. For those that like something less intense there’s all ways a hay ride.

There are many fun activities that city and country dwellers can both share, like walking their dog or flying a kite. There’s certain perks that come with residing at either one. Like the peace and quiet to practice a instrument that the country provides. In the city people can enjoy a night of fine dinning. It doesn’t matter where someone lives their sure to have fun, just for certain activities it depends on where that person resides from.
