One thing I really like about Lucena is how much people walk around. Everytime you leave your house you can see many people walking around, especially in the city center. In big cities, like Seattle, most people drive everywhere. Many people in Lucena also drive places but you always see a lot of people walking around as well. In Seattle there are some places where many people walk around like on a college campus and downtown but in the rest of the city you need to drive or take buses because everything is very far apart. I like both driving and walking but I walk much more in Lucena because everything is much closer together.
Also, in Lucena people stop and talk to their friends when they pass by. So its common when you´re walking in the city center to see many people stopped and talking with friends. In Seattle people do talk with their friends as well but they usually don´t stop to chat with someone for a while when they are walking somewhere. People are always busy in the city so if they see their friend they will say hi and then call them later to set up a time to meet and have coffee. I think the same thing happens in other big cities too like Madrid for example.
These lifestyles are different from each other and if you ever visit another country you should be aware that you´re city may function very differently from others.
