city

     People usually have different opinion about what is good city, and one person’s ideal of good city may easily be another person’s city nightmare. In fact, my classmate and I recently had discussion about whether her hometown town, Taipei or my hometown , Yun-Lin is better city. Our discussion centered on three differences points between our hometowns.

    Our first point of discussion was the convention of transportation. Needless to say , Taipei is a great convenient city. It has train station, MRT station, airport and High Speed Rail. Even than the bus comes fifteen to twenty minutes intervals. Yun-Lin just has train station and bus. But not all of town has train station and the bus usually comes thirty minutes to one hour intervals. Although that ,Yun Lin still have basic transportation than other city.

    We also considered the temperature in both cities. Yin Lin is a city of standard season temperatures, not too hot, not too cold. The best point is when the typhoon comes, Yin Lin just rain and windy. It seldom happen major disaster. Because of Heat island effect, Taipei is very hot in summer. Because of Northeast monsoon, Taipei is colder than most of city. And when the Typhoon comes, Taipei usually become the first disaster area. So I think Yin Lin is better .

    Finally , our two hometowns have different kinds of environment. Taipei is filled of skyscrapers and senior housing. Even area is beautiful. Yun Lin has endless farmland, fresh air and many small but sweet house. People can get close to nature.

In the end, many classmate and I learned that each of our city has it’s unique characteristics. Every city is perfect city.
