In my city, public hospitals have better medical equipment. However, you have to wait for a long time to get treatment and most of the times, the rooms are full. For private hospitals, their service is much better and there are good doctors serving those who can afford to stay in private hospitals.

In my city, inflation is just around 2-2.2 percent. And the economy is not doing well. Most businesses dare not to raise the price of their products at this time.
I think it's more of the personality and mindset of the individual. Some people just do not have the persistence to keep on trying. They give up when they fail once or twice.

I enjoy the joyous atmosphere. We may also take the opportunity to meet with family members, relatives and friends. If you do not want to socialize, you may just relax by watching a good movie or reading a good book.
I think it's a matter of self-discipline. You are in complete control of how often you want to eat out. If you would like to socialize with your friends, you may just have a coffee or other drink with them.
I mainly do two tasks online - complete surveys and post on forums. For the surveys, although some are quite tedious, there are interesting surveys which I enjoyed taking such as they asked for your opinion on their new logos, their new product launch. I enjoy posting on forums. It's great place...

I am interested to know how people live in different cultures. I would also like to know the life of some great people such as inventors or great leaders.
I also daydream when I have problems or under stress. I dream of traveling to a lot of interesting places, seeing the Nothern lights, I dream of relaxing on beaches. That helps me to forget about the reality for a moment.
When I was working for a software company offering design solutions to fashion designers, I needed to spend some money on clothing because our clients are fashion conscious. I have bought clothes from designer brands. Now, I am a freelancer working from home, I just have casual wear.

It is indeed a trouble having such a neighbor. I would try to stay away from him/her. If s(he) did something not appropriate, such as creating a lot of noises at late hours, I would report to the police.
I didn't know that mangoes can be mixed with curry. Cannot imagine the taste. But I think the mixture of spicy taste and sweetness should make this dish unique.

Perfect moments to me are happy moments. I feel happy when I have a great gathering with my family members. Watching sunrise/sunset is also a perfect moment.

If a person is addicted to gambling, it is very difficult to pull him/her out. I have a relative who was like this. His wife had tried every means to stop him from gambling, but that didn't help. They divorced eventually. I think nowadays, may be seeking professional help is the only way.
Here, some stores in shopping malls offer discounts on a particular day of each week. I usually wait and buy on that day, unless I need something urgently such as OTC drugs.
