Those tiny towns

They say people from the city are arrogant and impudent. This is a misconception: city people are ignorant.

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm a city girl myself. I've grown up in a city, I study in another and if I'm not in either of them, chances are I can be found in the capital city Brussels. One thing's for sure: city people know where to get the bargains, how to move around quickly and which alleyways to avoid. But we don't know we have to lower our voices, we have to show our public transport card on busses, nor do we realize that asking someone if he knows his dad isn't a self-evident question.

So if we act rather impudently, please remember, you can get the girl out of the city, but you can't get the city out of the girl.
