Gainesville and Beijing

There are many differences between Gainesville and Beijing. Both cities have things that I like and things that I don’t like. The first important difference is that Gainesville is a college town with two major universities: the University of Florida and Santa Fe Community College. There are not too many people in this town. On the other hand, Beijing is a big city. There are many people and a lot of buildings. There are more than one hundred universities in Beijing, each one in a different area. Another difference is transportation systems. In Gainesville, if people go out they need drive cars and almost everyone owns a car. In Beijing, only few people have cars. Most people just take bus or ride bikes to go to work. In addition, Beijing is a capital city. In conclusion, I like the culture in Beijing, but I more enjoy living in Gainesville.
