Taking the entire globe, if North America and Western Europe can be called the 'cities of the world', then Asia, Africa and Latin America constitute 'the rural areas of the world'.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Its not a global village, but we're in a highly interconnected globe.
I like rural areas.
Country people give me more than writers, and country places than towns.
One of the problems with the fiasco of suburbia is that it destroyed our understanding of the distinction between the country and the town, between the urban and the rural. They're not the same thing.
