I am the same, come from a small town in the UK and last time I went back the thing that really got to me was how neat and tidy it was. Like you say everyone home in their own houses with a neat tidy garden out front. Not many people out on the street, what seemed like very little traffic. After a while it really began to grate and I'm still not sure why. I guess I have acclimatized more quickly than I thought I would. Plenty of things bug me here but in some ways I do miss the place when I am back there.
