So here goes my finale essay for Coursera about the advantages & disadvantages of living in my hometown 
The city where I live is called Novosibirsk, which is also known as a capital of Siberia. Novosibirsk goes third in a list of biggest cities in Russia, so it is easy to find both lots of advantages ans disadvantages of living in such a megalopolis. First let's look into the positive aspects. It is never boring in a big city, since you can always find something interesting to do. There are many beautiful green parks, where you can always meet a lovely couple enjoying their time, plenty of cinemas, showing the latest movies in their halls, several big shopping centres with brendy shops, a beach and a long quay with an amusement park and blooming trees. There are a lot of chic restaurants and cozy cafes, where you can spend a nice time drinking cappuccino with your friends as well. To sum it up, all you should do to entertain yourself is to get out of your place. However there are some critical moment too. In my opinion, the most significant lack of my city is its location. It seems to be found in the middle of the country's territory, a destination being evenly far away from Europe, America and Asia. To reach any country in one of these parts of the world, you have to fly a very long time, which is surely sad for me as I'm the hugest fan of travelling. Another one lack is weather, a crazy thing strikingly differing according to the season. Being a part of Siberia, which is well known for its severe climate, Novosibirsk's winter temperature may stay at -30°С for a pretty long time, whereas summer's temperature may reach the point of +30°C or more. In summary, living in a heart of Siberia, you should be ready for any vagaries of the weather and you have to deal with huge destinations. Well, taking in account all of these aspects, it is still clearly to see that Novosibirsk is a great city to live in.
