Everywhere is what's you make of it. You see people partying in the cities and think that's what it's all about but once you do it all you realize the country is where it's at. I think you just need good people to connect with, it's really all about the people but more than that it's about you and where your mind is at. Go explore, it's fun.
In all honesty, the people are what's really so shitty about where I live. It's a very, very pretty area. No complaints there. The people are difficult to communicate with, not to mention connect with. Hobbies, beliefs, mood are all extremely different.
