Is it correct to say "In my city, people have a long lunch break."? My
concern is obviously I don't own the city, so it seems to be a problem
to use "my city", but if I say "In the city where I was born and grew
up, ...", then I think it is kind of too complex. What do you think?
Thanks for your help! and also thanks for making this helpful radio program!

'In my city ' is perfectly ok , or 'in my country ' , 'in my village
