TWO
CITIES
There
can be lots of cities bearing similarities and differences at the same time.
But it is difficult to imagine that a large, old
city and a new, small one could be that similar and difference at all. However, anyone who has seen Amasya
and Samsun knows that this is possible. The two cities differ in age,
population and climate but they share many similarities at the
same time.
Firstly,
of course, Samsun is the older city. It is over some thousands years old. Its
roots called to be stemming from old Amazonian civilizations. Amasya, in contrast, is not very old. It is
about four or five hundred years old.
Secondly, the
population of Samsun (1,213,000) is also much larger than Amasya's population (322,000).
Samsun continuingly takes emigration, for its geographical location’s outcomes.
It has a harbor that is very important for the exportation of Turkey and it
holds some commercial advantages. Namely, it is a developed industrial city
with its factories and plantations. However, Amasya is middle of mountains,
surrounded on the four sides, which does not let it grow bigger.
Thirdly,
the climates of these two cities are different. Samsun has a very mild and
humid climate which brings much of rain. On Samsun, it is summers are very
overwhelming and winters are pretty lenient. Also, Samsun takes too much rain
all four season long. On the other hand, the climate of Amasya is very harsh.
Summers are very hot and winters are exceedingly cold.
Although these
important differences exist, the cities are strikingly similar. First, both cities are, somehow, the touristic
centers of their countries. Both cities have lots of historical places,
museums, tourist attractions and local beauties.
Secondly,
the two cities look similar. I mean, the architecture used on the buildings is
similar. For this reason, many of the buildings and monuments in Samsun are
symmetrically located in view of another, just as they
are in Amasya. Both cities are also the sites of
magnificent monuments; important historical landmarks; fine museums; beautiful
parks; and board, tree-lined avenues.
Finally, they
both have very fertile areas eligible for agriculture. That is why; gardening,
farming and plantations are very improved in these two cities. In other words,
Samsun and Amasya have a very convenient location for civilizations to thrive
and develop.
In
conclusion, Samsun and Amasya share numerous similarities in addition to their
differences. Samsun is a big, developed city and Amasya is a small, developing
city. They are both worth living, for their natural beauties and opportunities.
If one loves city life with traffic, noise and rush Samsun is better; however,
if one loves small-city lifestyle Amasya is probably one of the best places in
Turkey.
