10 Things I Miss about You

This week marked my 1-month milestone of being in Korea. A month sure has flown by. I almost feel like I've only been here about two weeks.

Although I've been adjusting fairly well, there are some things I miss:

1) Southern foods... aka Chick-fil-a and Waffle House. Can't tell you how many times I've thought about a delicious chocolate pecan waffle or a Caesar wrap. Not that I ever ate these often in the US, but now that they're not readily available I sure would like one.
2) Dryers. Never have I wanted to do laundry so badly. Korea is mega technologically advanced, yet people still dry their clothes the old fashion way...
3) My cellphone. The cellphone I have now is pretty cool (still want to test out that video chat), but I wish I could text message people back home. It's hard being limited to those people I can call up at a moment's whim.
4) Being able to easily communicate with people.
5) Easy access to friends and family. Especially with the events of this past week, I realized how scary and inconvenient it can be not having a family member or friend close by.
6) My dog. Yup.
7) Not being stared at when walking around town. I don't get stares as often as other people I know, but still it's strange seeing them out of the corner of my eye when it does happen. Although, it was very amusing when a Korean man thought I was from Spain.
8) American water systems. You read that right. The Korean water and air quality here aren't the best, and they're showing their effects on my face every time I wash it or walk outside. I feel like a middle schooler all over again.
9) Music and movies!!! Some K-Pop is great, but my days are totally made whenever I hear the random Maroon 5 or Jason Mraz at the country subway stop in Suwon or hip mall in Seoul.
10) TV. TV. TV. Glee, I miss thee. I miss watching it the night it's on. If Lost was still on, the world would be over for me.
