1) "Hi! My name is Stephen and I live in a tiny Hat in Brixton, in south-west London. I chose to live here because there is never a dull moment in a city like London. I'm an art student and the hustle and hustle of so many people in one area is the inspiration for a lot of my painting. Another advantage of city life is having everything you need so close at hand. Living beside the Tube station means 1 don't need a car to get around, which saves me money. Also, there are shopping centres, art galleries and museums everywhere.

Of course, London, like any large city, has its problems, too. Londoners don't chat on the Tube or the bus and there is much less community spirit than in the country, where my parents live. In fact, they don’t understand how I can put up with the constant noise and pollution, and traffic congestion. However, I see that as a small price to pay. As a famous poet once said ‘He who is tired of London is tired of life’.

2) A sleepy village surrounded by woods and rivers might suit some people, but others prefer the bright lights and fast pace of the big city. ‘Down Town' spoke to Stephen and Marianna to get both sides of the story.

My name is Marianna and I live in New South Wales, Australia, on a huge ranch called The Rain River Land. It’s a beautiful area with fantastic scenery. I live here with my husband Joe anti our two children, Patrick, 11 and Abby, 8.

We have lived on this ranch for several years and love our healthy lifestyle. We have 70,000 hectares of land, so the children have lots of space to run around and enjoy the peace and quiet. The air is clean and fresh and we produce a lot of our own food so we are sure that what we cat is fresh. There's lots of hard work to do running a ranch, but we don't mind.

Of course, there are some negative aspects to life out here. There are often droughts in Australia, and sometimes we can’t grow any crops for months. We feel isolated sometimes, especially since the nearest neighbours are almost 100km away. Another problem is that many things are not as easily available as in the city. There are no local facilities such as schools, supermarkets and shops, and if we are ill we have to call the flying doctor.

Although life here can be difficult, we wouldn’t change it for the world."
