I love making lists so here's to list making...
Since I've been here, I've been a bowl full
"missing this and that" such as friends, family, mindset,
but here's a "Materialistic Specific Things I
Miss" List.
Basically, it's tangible things- inanimate objects that
I miss.
The two top things are in this picture- how convenient-
The top of the list-
Good
Coffee- and if I wanted to get even more n picky- Good Decaf
Coffee. I dont even care about brand anymore- Starbucks, Peets, or Zoes. I just
miss GOOD COFFEE in general.
My
Guitar- not that I was really on my way to being really good,
I just miss strumming the beautiful instrument. I play some guitar here, but
it's different when it's your own.
Fast
Wireless Internet- I am very thankful that we even have
internet at the house, and WIRELESS internet at that...I just miss FAST
internet. You know, where Youtube loads in 5 seconds instead of 5mintues and
pictures upload in 1 min instead of 10min.
Dishwasher-
I really dont mind washing the dishes, cause I know it's a big help. I just
miss rinsing the dishes and shoving it into a dishwasher.
Sidewalks-
I dont think theres a generic sidewalk measurement here, so it can range from
2-3 feet off the ground. Totally throwing off my muscle memory. I'm very
cautious where and how I walk.
Car-
Walking is great for the health. But sometimes I need to go a bit farther than
just down the street. and it's not just the convenience of car that I miss. I
miss FAST cars. I miss going 65-70mph. What's the average speed here? 40kmph.
25mph. Which is not slow, but it's ridiculous doing 25mph for 30min.
Omygoodness. I want to scream.
More lists are coming soon...probably something along
the lines of "things I took for granted" and "things I am
thankful I have here cause it's definitely a luxury in Tonga" and maybe
even "the little things that make me happy here"
to be continued...
um...is it ok if I learn Guitar on your guitar?? PPPLLLLLEEEAAASSSEEEE!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't help you with any of the other things, but the next time we all get together, I will bring some fresh organic fair trade Tongan coffee, our grinder, and my french press and make you GOOD COFFEE. I will even put foam on the top if you wish. :)
