Life in the City and in the Surburbs are two contrasting entities. I have been out of the city for a couple of days without my PC and it's been a rush, like am going to pass out without pressing my laptop. It takes some sweat and burn-out to make my daily posts with my mobile device.
As usual, Christmas is meant to be spent with your loved ones. In my own case, over the past couple of years i have spent Christmas alone or with just a couple of Friends and not with my immediate family. Life has been a mess with no parents to spend my Christmas Holiday with, even if they are wobbly old; i would have loved to spend my Christmas with them over and over again to make that season a unique one.
So, in other not to spend Christmas alone this year; i had spent the whole of my Christmas eve on the road doing an interstate journey to get up North-Western part of the country and it was tears floods upon my Arrival on this crazy journey out of the city of Lagos in so many years.
In the hours spent here; there is a distinct different in life in the surburb and city life. Everybody knows everyone, commuters greets even strangers and people seems extremely nice to each other unlike the city where everyone is tensed and always in a hurry to get home and away from home.
The Surburbs/Township has little or no Traffic congestion, the roads are free and things a quite cheaper compared to the city where things could cost in multiples during Yuletide. Traffic in the City alone is enough to discourage you from having fun in the festive Season.
Another Big difference is that, the city gets no winter/hamattarn. Extremely cold in other places but super warm in the City. In my journey for Christmas, i could feel the change in weather upon getting to the next city away from Lagos; the hazy atmosphere is something perculiar to Christmas here in this part of the World since we have no Snow nor winter!
In the Surburbs,indoor seems the best way to enjoy Christmas siince there are limited recreation centers which the city has in abundance and it could be very decitful for an individual with carefree attitude about spending.
My take, my comparison between Christmas and life in the City and in the Surburbs. What is your own side of the story.
