What do people living in the countryside like to do?
I imagine they like the outdoor activities, such as farming, gardening, going for
walks, swimming, hiking, etc. I guess that they also like to have gatherings,
maybe even barbecues and bonfires (a large outdoor fire), too. Lastly, I would
think they like to go on trips to cities on the weekends as a change of scenery.
