Plenty of sunshine, ample of space, people you know or who know you is the next person you meet. The people greet you with a smile on their faces and gleam in their eyes, even if the last time you visited was years ago or they havent seen you much but, sure have heard of you and knows who you are. It does reduce the amount of dreadful small talks and baseless introductions one has to make.
Stories of people with many perspectives both equally humorous. One connecting bus to the nearest little town 30 minutes away, which waits for 5 minutes , if you need it to. Don't know where to get down? That's not even a problem, after all the driver or conductor will show you the way home when you drop a name.
Bright and dull scenery around, picturesque as the ones you see on the walls of palaces and galleries. Black and white, sepia or colourful they shall be equally beautiful.
A little post office and a few small shops may seems as a drawback but, there are little joys that overpower them. Sure you can't expect a McDonald's drive through or the mall you like to go to a few kilometers away. But there are other perks like tender coconut or wild berries that one may take liking to, which are sour and tasteful as those licorice you like to devour.
Oh those candies you see in that little shop, colourful variétés in different sizes and tastes. They made your mouth water back when you were a kid, and so will they now if you glance at a few.
Know not the local tongue? So not a problem, for a tongue with little changes in your mother tongue, just works fine.
Sure, you aren't as "connected" as you were before, but that makes you wonder if you ever really were. Varying signals on your portable devices don't matter as much as thinking about it ever did. You get to explore rivers and brookes and that part of the hill and farm you want to wander.
