England
I grew up in a third world country however one thing I had in my town growing up was a big house, because people built their houses and labour and building materials was cheap then with lots of green outside space, our garden was as big as a small park with mango, coconut trees, etc.
The country’s economy became so bad due to bad governance and everyone started trying to relocate.
When I got to England to study, my first house was a studio flat and on the terrace, there were 6 other flats. I couldn’t believe how much flats there was in a little space with no gardens, houses joined together, it was shocking to begin with. And I had to buy mango rather than pluck it from the tree 😂😂
Also, I lived in that flat for a year and never knew my neighbours, no one spoke to each other. That’s in contrast to where I came from where every one knew each other.
People smoking and drinking openly on the street or in a park, that never happened where I came from as people tried to keep it from people if they did that.
On the upside, the better economy here makes this place a good place to live. In most cases, people don’t look down on other people’s jobs here which is something that happens always where I came from and people were always ashamed if they were handy men, etc. Things have changed there now though as lots of people are becoming enlightened
