My city

Hello everyone,
It's time to write something constructive. As I was asked to write about my city I'll do that. I come from Toruń, which is a town situated almost in the middle of Poland. I will not be writing about its monuments and stuff because this is what you can find on the Internet. Also, because this town is famous some of you might have heard something about it. What I wanted to write is what this town is for me. It is the town where I spent my whole childhood and years before going to university, all happy days (with exceptions obviously). But being used to Toruń is not the only reason I love this town, because I truly love it. For me, it is the most beutiful city in the world, though it lacks certain facilities. It has this specific atmosphere, which I have never encountered in any other place. Funny thing is that before I went to University in Poznań I didn't appreciate this town. But now, I miss it terribly and every time I have a chance to go home (as I consider it my home) I feel so happy about it. The Old Town, the house I live in, everything being so close to your house, even if you live in the suburbs like me - it's all great. Now, I'm honestly fed up with Poznań. There are too many people here, too much traffic jams, and it's too big. I'm not accustomed to such big cities. I feel lost and unsignificant here. If it weren't for my friends and boyfriend, who also live here, I would probably go mad. Anyway, these are my amazing reflections about Toruń. If you ever have a chance to visit it don't hesitate!

Poznan is not that bad. It all depends on the people, your 'commrades' so to say.
As you said, you would go mad if it weren't for them. I think that you would go the same mad if you didn't have friends and peoples who are close to you in Toruń.
To me, what defines a place is mostly the people of it. :-) best of luck
