I live in a wonderful environment. There are many supermarkets, playgrounds and cafes nearby. There is a pharmacy right next to our house. Opposite the pharmacy is a pet store where we buy food for our cat. In front of our house there is a swimming pool and a grocery supermarket next to it. Opposite the supermarket is an Italian restaurant. And behind it are my favorite clothing stores and library. I love my surroundings!
