Countdown of the 13 things I miss most from the good ole USA (it was supposed to be 20 but I literally cannot think of anything else…)
13. A washing machine/dryer- hand washing everything makes
it die about 10x as fast as washing it in a machine.
12. Cell network/electricity/water that doesn’t go out- I
think this is self-explanatory. It’s highly inconvenient...
11. Sushi- You can find it here but it’s not that good and
extremely expensive for my meager PC budget.
10. Thai food/Greasy Chinese food- This should probably be #9 on my list but I realized how much I miss looking female.
9. Wearing makeup- I can’t do it here unless I know I will
be in A/C all day. It will melt off my face before I even get to work. I look
like a small male child here. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t wear much makeup to
begin with but anything I try to put on here turns into a sweaty mess in about 10 minutes. Again, the I miss being able to be pretty sometimes.
8. Mexican food - I make some awesome chicken and black bean
dishes but it’s not the same.
Someone hand me some real tacos and some tortilla chips.
7. Live Music- This. All the time. I miss it. And now it
looks like I am going to have to miss the festival I was planning on going to here...
6. Dog- Dear Oscar, you are my favorite small dog I have
ever partially owned. Please don’t bite me when I get home. I would tell mom to
give you a hug for me, but let’s be real, you don’t like that.
<3 Erica
5. My car- Walking has been great for my body but sometimes
I stare at the hill I have to walk up and shed silent tears.
4. My bed- a piece of foam on a wood plank bed frame does
not, a bed, make.
3. Hot showers/baths- having to sit in a cold plastic tub
and dump warm water over your head does not count as a bath.
2. Friends- You know who you are and we’re going to
party when I come home.
1. Family- All of you. Seriously. I will tackle hug all of
you!
Oh, and you can add cheese somewhere in there. I’ll let you
decide where I rank that in the order of importance.
