I thought is would be fun to find out what people miss from their home countries or for those of you that haven't taken the plunge - what do you think you'll miss?

I am from Australia, currently teaching in London and I miss sunshine, good thai food and of course all my frinds and family!

I am from Texas, and I believe I'll most likely miss the WONDERFUL accent (if you think it's awful, think Matthew Mcconaughey and it might change your mind) and the glorious Tex-Mex food. And bluebonnets.

I'm arriving in August, to teach secondary English. I know that the hardest thing for me will be leaving my new granddaughter -- she and he mum have lived with me since the baby was born. She's two now. They've already decided on a visit at Christmas!

Otherwise, I live on the TX/NM border, and will NOT miss the heat (110 degrees most days now, and hotter next month).

Can't come up with much else . . . when I lived in Europe for 5 years, about once a year we would drive to a KFC (4 hours each way). Now I don't even like that junk, so I guess I'll be fine!

I'm from Cincinnati. We have great chili here that is not like any found anywhere else in the world. When I was in Ecuador, I had to have an "emergency" shippend sent to me.

I will also miss my cats...particularly the youngest (Hairy Carrie). She's such a goofy nut. My brother is taking them in...sob. They would NOT have been happy about the trip or the extreme change in scene though, so it's for the best.

Otherwise, I'm really looking forward to this change...!

I really really really miss the sun. I was living in the desert Southwest, and we had 350 days of sunshine a year. This is very very very grey.

Also miss my granddaughter, very much. Her mum (my daughter) called the other day and the little one (age 2) said, "Are you still on that plane? Come back NOW!" Her mum also said that when a friend visited them last month, from the Netherlands, my granddaughter asked the visitor upon arrival at the airport, "Did you see my Nonni up there in the plane? She didn't come back yet." I think she really msises me.
