I think cities around the world have varying costs of living of lots of products and services, but if you look at how expensive it is to buy property of a specific size in a city vs. the countryside, the same amount of money that paid for my condo could buy a tiny place in Vancouver. This is true of rent too. A sister of a friend of mine from highschool lives in Vancouver and needs a roommate just so she can afford to live in what she describes as a closet space with a bathroom.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
