I live in a rural area for the first time in my life right now.  It's taking some getting used to.
Really? I also live in a rural area but it is very close to the suburbs so it doens't feel rural to me, lol.
I wish that was the case with me.  There's nothing around here.  Our town only has about 1000 people in it, and we're at least a half hour away from the next town.
I see. Rural areas are usually defined as a geographic area outside towns and cities. I am just outside the main city but you are more rural than me!
