住在这个小村庄里的优点和缺点是什么？

Jack and his brother lived in a big city. One summer they went to a village for their holiday. They liked it very much because it was a quiet and clean place.
One day, they went for a walk early in the morning and met an old man. He lived on a farm, and he was sitting in front of his house. 
Jack asked him, "Do you like to live in this quiet place?" 
"Yes. I do," said the old man. "What are the good things about it?" Jack asked.
The old man replied, "Well, the people here know each other. They often come and visit me, and I often go and visit them."
Jack said, "That's interesting. And what are the bad things?" The old man thought for a minute and then said,"Well, the same things, really."
