Несмотря на то, что не перевариваю свой город, район, в котором живу, меня всё-таки устраивает. Центр, как-никак, нужные магазины рядом, нет необходимости далеко переться: через дорогу от дома - супермаркет, буквально в пяти шагах - остановка, чуть поотдаль - киоск, в котором продаются карточки на Инет(!):) и телефон, вобщем, всё честь по чести. Правда до университета приходится добираться при общественного транспорта, но это мелочи. В нашем районе также максимально снижен уровень преступности, что тоже не может не радовать. И наконец-то стали сносить кое-где имеющиеся прогнившие бараки и строить новые кирпичные дома
Despite the fact that I do not digest my city, the area in which I live, I am still satisfied. The center, after all, the necessary shops are nearby, there is no need to go far: across the street from the house is a supermarket, literally in five steps there is a stop, a little poddal is a kiosk selling Inet cards (!) :) and a phone, in general, all honor in honor. True, the university has to be reached by public transport, but these are trifles. In our area the crime rate is also reduced as much as possible, which is also good news. Finally, in some places, the rotten barracks were demolished and new brick houses were built.
