Comparison: Town

So, I guess I'll start doing comparison posts. I'll probably keep doing them by theme like this, but just don't expect me to start posting regularly!

My town here in Germany is a bit different from my hometown in the states. For starters, it's a bit smaller. There are only 5513 people compared to my hometown's 19750. There's only one set of traffic lights (that I'm aware of). In my hometown, there's one road that has six. Here there is a clear center of town. My hometown not so much. There is a pretty decent public transportation system (trains and buses) here that I can easily use to get around. Otherwise, if it's not too far, I can just hop on my bike and go. Living in my hometown doesn't work without a car.

However, they are also a bit the same. There are a lot of fields and pastures in and around both. The majority of people live in little suburbs (not all the houses here look identical, however). There's not much that goes on as far as nightlife, but both are fairly close to a larger town or two when you need to get out.

I guess that's all I have for now on that topic. I think the next comparison will be my life in general in both places.

Bis später!
