Village Visit

I went to visit some friends in a village recently. I love the quaint feeling of village life. It's quiet, simple, and laid back.

This village has electricity and running water, although they must use electricity sparingly due to lack of funds. The village houses and courtyards are huge compared to city homes. People who live in villages are considered, by the government, as peasant farmers, even though some have other jobs such as electricians, garbage collectors, pig farmers, etc. (Those are the three jobs my friends have.)

I wouldn't want to live in a village, nor would I be allowed to by the government, but I really LOVE the villages and the lifestyle they represent.
