It just occurred to me that I have been
here in Madagascar for over 6 months. Time is flying! I feel like I
just got here but am feeling the time crunch to get projects moving.
In light of this realization I have decided to compile a list of
silly things I miss. It goes without saying that I miss my family,
friends, and loved ones immensely and daily. So I want to make a list
of borderline embarrassing creature comforts my soft, American ass
misses. It makes me feel very selfish to miss these things while
working here. This list is mostly food which doesn't bode well for my
figure when I return. The list is in no particular order and, again,
I'm ashamed to admit I miss most of these things. But what is the
internet for if not embarrassing yourself for all to see.
- Chipotle
- Netflix
- Greasy pizza
- Sushi
- The Daily Show
- Twizzlers
- Movie theaters
- Movie theater popcorn
- Movie theater popcorn butter
- Spicy chicken sandwiches of all makes and models. The more deep fried and awful for you the better.
- Souplantation
- Weight lifting
- Constant updates on the status of the UCLA Bruins football team.
- Grantland.com
- Good beer
- Crappy, American beer. Never knew I could actually miss PBR.
- Liquor other than rum
- Trader Joe's. Specifically cheese, wine, samples, and the pre-made wraps.
- Nachos
- All Mexican food
- Starbucks
- Road trips
Ok, I think that's enough. All of that
said I love it here and only miss these things when I'm especially
vulnerable (meaning tired and/or hungry). But I do think of them from
time to time. I'm sure when I get home a binge is in order. Please
don't judge me when it happens.
