City Vs Country living

Countryside. Definitely. Even just visiting cities for a day has been a fast track to a melt down. People are just generally less polite in a city and if you ask someone for help they look at you as if it's a trick and they expect you to mug them the second they let their guard down. This is why I don't bother watching dystopian future films, you can see it live in the making if you go to London. I've also been mugged there myself (albeit unsuccessfully because PDA and general irritation that was building up to a second meltdown activated with a vengence, grabbed my bag back and fought back literally kicking and screaming and Muggy Muggerson didn't want to deal with any of that and ran away.)

Go to Yorkshire. The people in the city’s are chatty. They will answer questions mostly in a friendly way. They are also outspoken. You’ll hear people arguing politics with strangers at bus stops from time to time. 

Northern  cities are much different than in the south.

I haven't done a lot of travelling recently but last week drove 500+ miles up to Scotland stopping a few times.  I want to do it again but stop for longer each time.  I love just hearing the different accents for one but yes, people tend to be more immediately open.  Us southeners will open up but you need to know us for a few years first!
