So, now we know what Sal misses from the U.S. But what about me? The truth is, I do not often find myself longing for something in the states. The things I miss are little things and the pangs I feel for them leave quickly. Many of the things I find myself missing, I end up quickly forgetting. So here are the things I miss, besides family and friends, and there are probably more which will come later.
- I miss real pet stores where I can choose from a wide selection and things are still cheap.
- I miss clothing in my size with a wide selection and affordable prices.
- I miss traffic rules that get enforced.
- I miss clear rules and regulations and expectations in pretty much every aspect of life.
- I miss awesome customer service.
- I miss Wendy’s and Culvers.
- I miss fake Mexican food.
- I miss cheap Italian restaurants.
- I miss nasty Chinese buffets and, really, buffets in general. Like Golden Corral. I should probably be ashamed of this.
- I miss Walgreens and American drug stores in general. Everything you need in one small spot and the ability to get more than 20 pills of daily medications at once.
- I miss cheddar cheese and goat cheese.
- I miss American style Chinese food, in particular orange and lemon chicken.
- I miss lemons.
- I miss cheap make-up and having a wide variety to choose from.
- I miss shoes in my size.
- I miss Target. Please come to Pachuca.
- I miss cobblers, served warm with ice-cream on top.
- I miss root beer and root beer floats.
- I miss the security of reliable first responders.
- I miss sitcoms and dramas. Basically, any television not in telenovela or reality format.
- I miss the various candies from the states, particularly chocolate ones.
