Realized myself.
Yesterday, I went to Tokyo to join a drinking party which was held by my ex-colleagues.
There were about 10 people there, they drunk and spoke loudly.
And the tavern (居酒屋) was noisy.
I was surprised and a little scared at that.
Because I've lived in the countryside for 10 months.
The sounds that I normally hear are twits from birds, the ringer from the microwave oven and the time switch, the voices of my students and their families, and my boyfriend's voice.
I have realized that I'm entirely satisfied with the quiet life.

Good piece of writing. It is the way of expressing it in English that gives you the most headache.
1. I don't know Japanese enough to ascertain if this is the name of the restaurant/bar or just a generic name for drinking place.
