yes yes.....the community,maybe australia kampong give u a little taste of that....of a life u once had.......
but what u are talking about is just the kampong with all the modern luxuries and amenities of man.....hence the cities.
the real kampong is nothing like australian kampong......and the real kampong still exist in malaysia.....last i check in the mid 2000s.......tin corrugated rooftops that leaks when it rains,dirt unpaved roads that come from the middle of nowhere and lead to the middle of nowhere........walls covered with decades of dirt and grim it almost looks part of the surrounding nature,or of rotted wood,may or may not have electricity,barely any signs of the modern civilisation,definitely no internet,no heated water,toilet floors of bare concrete like ur homes of the 1970s before they got upgraded by hdb in the 2000s.....u bathe from a small concrete well of water with a gong.....much like a prisoner does........no water heater to keep u warm during the freezing nights,imagine bathing in cold water after a thunderstorm at night in 20c freezing water,no air con to keep u cool during the hot summers....
u aint going to walk out ur home and go to the nearby bakery in st kilda's and get a piping hot crossaint or a fried bacon and egg panini and a hot colombian coffee.....
i dunno wtf they have in the kampong apart from a fish and tackle shop,apparently thats all they do,is fish.......good past time and something to put on the frying pan for dinner i guess.
