However, being that I have never been anywhere else (sans a short trip to Mexico in my youth), I feel unqualified to be anything other than happy to be American. While I don’t approve of everything that our government does or purports as the truth, I still love a great many things about this country. Therefore, I have compiled a list of things that I will miss while being in another country. I will check back on this list to see if I actually miss the following things or not.

Things I will miss

  • Mexican Food
  • My baby doggie (She is only very small)
  • Degrassi
  • Being a native
  • Meeting new people with ease
  • Driving
  • The U.S. Constitution
  • Living on a mainland
  • California weather
  • Our Electronic Music Scene
  • Hugs
  • 24 Hour Fitness
  • Newcastle
  • My Friends and Family

Things I will not miss

  • Rush Hour in L.A. (5/10/101/405/60)
  • President Bush
  • Bros (Not MY brothers but the group of people)
  • High Cost of Living
  • FOX News

But what I won’t miss MOST of all is the persistent writer’s block that had plagued me for so long. Deciding to go to Taiwan has opened the floodgates and I’m building a dam where I’m collecting some amazing things. Stay tuned.
