. People are hospitable here. The mild climate and fertile farmland are suitable for growing vegetables and fruits. You can’t find much entertainment here but the wild and magic nature attracts you by its beauty

In this place you can try exotic fruit. The weather is always warm and sunny here. You can stay outdoors and enjoy sunbathing and water sports all days long. Life here is quiet and a bit boring. If you like speed and noise this place is not for you.

I live in a place where there are many factories and plants. It’s easy to find a good job here. But to live here is not easy at all. Of course, places like that offer you not only verities of job but lots of entertainment as well. There are a lot of clubs, discos, casinos and restaurants here. That you can work and rest a lot in such place is quite certain.

There is much entertainment in this place. People seem never sleep here at all. Many shops and cafes are open in evenings. Lots of sightseeing attract thousands of tourists. Besides, if you come for living here it will be easy to find a well-paid and interesting job.

Plenty of well-paid job, the possibility of getting good education, crowded and noisy streets, a lot of entertainment make this place attractive for living and give you many chances to become a successful person.
