I miss being able to walk everywhere; I miss the huge variety of fascinating products in the supermarkets; I miss the gourmet cooked-chilled meals with no alarming ingredients, that you can get in any supermarket in Britain; I miss so much of the food... sigh.... I miss the TV, though I have now set up a slingbox to enable me to watch British TV live anywhere I have internet access; I miss British dry humour; and I miss the NHS, and how friendly and caring government officials are in Britain compared to here. And despite this being the land of the free, I feel oppressed here. There seems to be a law or regulation or licence for everything. It is exhausting. On the other hand, I DON'T miss the weather, the fact that they don't pack for you in British supermarkets (or not often anyway), the expense of eating out there, and the high house prices in the South of England compared to where I am now in USA. I also love being able to swim (in an outdoor unheated private pool!) every day for 6 months of the year -- though I doubt that is possible in Minnesota. ;-)<br /><br />Do make the most of your time here though. You will look back and be so glad you were able to spend time here. It was an absolute nightmare for me to go through the legal immigration process to move here -- enjoy your youth/student status while you can! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983134633776267277.post-44859523192340884572011-01-15T03:08:06.576+00:002011-01-15T03:08:06.576+00:00Aww, I agree there really is not place like home. ...Aww, I agree there really is not place like home.
