I have lived in big cities all my life. Actually (63), I live with wife in a house built by us in the countryside (north of Chiang Mai). We have animals, cats, dogs, chickens, a garden, plants, an orchard and fruit trees. I would be unable to live in a building again... How boring to say hello every day in the elevator , argue with the neighbor for making noise... or watering the “two” pots on the balcony.
