Male Female

The neighborhood where I lived as a child and the neighborhood where I live right now are not different because I still live in this neighborhood. It is located in the northeast of my town and it's the second largest region in my city. It was mostly inhabited by newlyweds and young families with children, which meant I had a lot of friends around my age. We were outside playing every day and enjoyed our childhood. I can't really remember everything because I was a child, but now that I'm still living here, I would say that it's quite reasonable to live here because all the facilities are nearby. For example, the hospital is just one kilometer away, and we have plenty of stores, such as Linnela and Kaufland. So I would consider living here because the infrastructure is improving. New blocks of flats are being built. I think I would like to stay, but I also have thoughts of living abroad, so it's not entirely clear how that correlates with my future plans.
