I'm the opposite, never lived anywhere that wasn't about 10 mins walk from the city centre. The idea of being outside a city interests me, but not being able to just walk out of my house and have 100+ different options of food/bars/entertainment in a half mile radius puts me off. I complain about being bored all the time anyway so **** knows what I would be like with just a co op and a pub.
The strangers saying "hi" thing just threw me off. Only strangers who ever try to talk to me are either homeless asking for money, those charity dicks who are everywhere now or someone trying to mug you. I'm sure I would get used to it though.
Living in a village doesn't mean you're always miles from anything mate. Plenty of shops, pubs, takeaways, etc
