If you do not talk about the country, there is the notion of "small Motherland". This applies to territories, regions, cities and even villages. I was born in the Urals and love this land. Of course, it may seem that in other regions and countries life is much better, but better than where you were born, nothing. Yes, we have unpredictable weather, but we got used to it and it has its own charm. In the Urals in one year can be very hot and dry summer, and the other is cool with torrential rains. Also things and with the winter time. The temperature can be replaced by thaw, and the locals have long been accustomed to.
But, what in these parts nature! The beauty of Ural nature even jealous foreigners. The dense forests of mighty pine trees gradually give way to forest edges. We have a lot of lakes and rivers that add to the General landscape of a particular romance. In the Urals there are many mountain peaks, therefore in our region often visited by tourists. The mountains are various caves, which attract not only tourists, but also researchers.
Each person has a homeland, he must love. I love my edge just for the fact that here I was born and grew up. Here I'm going to get a higher education and then get a job. I do not rush to the capital of the Motherland, there is no me enough visitors. I will live a life where my parents were born and me. Here are all of my family, so I will be useful there, where she was born.
