So, someone asked me what (not who) I missed from the US the other day, and I saw someone else's blog that had a similar post, so I decided to steal the idea. Plus, I figured since I haven't written in a while (and won't unless I get time during spring break), it'd be a good thing to write about. There is no particular order and it's basically just things I've thought of that I can remember right now.
1) the english language
2) cups that hold more than two sips in them
3) not having to ask for water at restaurants
4) not having to differentiate between sparking ('with bubbles') water or mineral water.
5) the price of some things
6) things being open on sundays (or at convenient hours)
7) not having to 'experience' something new every time because i don't know what most things are here (although a lot of times it's fun)
8) the sun and dry things
9) more things that i can't remember right now. maybe i'll have a list two later this semester?
Also, just finished my two tests for today and I am officially on Spring Break in Europe! Spain and Portugal, here I come!
:) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteHahaha... at least you'll be more appreciative of things when you get back! I'm sooo jealous of your spring break plans, hope you have an awesome time!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I hope your time in Europe improves your decision making abilities...
The sun and dry things? Are there a lot of worms there then? Ugh. Haha, I liked this post. You have to ask for water there?
ReplyDeleteYeah, you have to ask for water. And they give you like none. And they take forever to refill it. There is no tip here, so they don't have to do things like in the US. Also, France has a law that requires restaurants to give you free tap water; other countries don't have that law and you're forced to pay for bottled water.
