Disadvantages of living in the capital
Living in any city has its pros and cons, and Moscow is no exception. It is advisable to move, having a guaranteed place of work, study, the option of at least temporary housing. The main disadvantages of Moscow include the daily multi-kilometer traffic jams, as well as crowds in the metro and electric trains. It has been proven that constant noise has a negative effect on a person, and the endless movement and hum stops in the capital only for a short time. All this causes irritation and fatigue.
It is important to understand that all people are different, and the endless dynamism and extravaganza of a big city is not suitable for every person. For people who prefer solitude and peace, the metropolis will overwhelm, annoy and plunge into depression. Therefore, it is important to choose a city for life based on your own character and attitude. Many visitors like the capital, many have found themselves here, their soul mate, favorite work and reliable friends.
