I am finding this one hard to place myself in. Are the villages really that close that you can hear roosters crowing from them? It would seem more realistic to me to say "house to house" or "street to street"?
Especially a small European country such as the Netherlands. The author's details:

When we arrange conference on the international level then the most common dialogue of the people is they are one and work for the benefits of each other despite to their religion and are not ready to discuss their religion either.

from the aerie, kites clamor
