Good wine

What I miss the most:
- Own bed room
- Good friends
- Freedom

sausages! Iceland's only native sausage is smoked horsemeat and tastes wretched. They're getting a few other kinds now (mostly Polish) but no spicy Italian, good German style sausages, or breakfast sausages.

Otherwise I've lived here for long enough that I've forgotten most other things that were part of my American life.

Decent bread, British TV, mild weather, Tesco, friends, London in general. I miss those the most and I have only been away for a month!!

Hot food, tropical weather and cheap stuffs to buy....

Denny's for Breakfast

Me it would have to be

mountain Dew
clam chowder
eggnog
Denny's
Amercian man

Texas BBQ, Mexian Food

and "CLEAN AIR"

loved ones food and the warm weather in the Philippines?!

Good health system,potable tap water, real pizzas...(come from Italy, living in Mexico)

I miss my Sunday mornings at the beach and of course family!

I also miss my meat pies from Australia. For those in Perth, Western Australia I highly recommend the Jesters Meat Pie.

When I was studying in Melbourne then what I miss the most from my home country are:

- Chili
- Indonesia traditional dishes
- Traffic
- Sun
- Speak in bahasa Indonesia

i missed "accompanying Dad" to the grocery on Saturday afternoon where I can get what I want and he pays.I miss the out of town trips too where I sit beside him and other family members sleeps at the back of the car.I missed barbeque at my brother's house, opposite our family's house.I miss the food,i miss the warmth I get from family and friends.
I'm coming home soon...

I missed the one thing a lot of...that is my childhood.In my childhood i had some sweet memories,going to school with holding my moms hand, playing with rains,etc...

The Scouse sensa yuma.

Humour often depends on a shared background and references to television programmes of the 1960s etc will get you nowhere in a country that only got TV for the first time in the 1970s.

I MISS....
miss my family
miss going to church on Sunday
miss going to Cinema
miss walking around without wearing abaya
miss pork
I miss you, I miss your smile and I still shed a tears every once in a while...and even though it's different now, you're still here somehow...my heart will let you go and I need you to know...I miss you...shalala lala...I miss you:)

I'm back home; but I miss the expat life.  Am I nuts?

-family
-cold weather
-some mess n fights in streets between drivers..

I think it can be broken down into two categories.

Universal things that don't depend on country:
- family
- friends
- speaking native language
- familiar places where you used to go
- nature of your home country

Country specific things:
- food (I live in Spain and this country has some of the best food in the world. But still, there are so many things missing.)
- clothes/dressing style/brands
- cultural differences

I find the above one as my own feeling.
Additionally, we all are foody.

This is my first day, and I love to be here.

I don't miss anything - there's so many other things in different countries! I think you just have to enjoy what you get, otherwise you'll be in a perpetual state of homesickness.

If I would to ever leave I would miss the Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Tiger Games.

I like Mexican and Italian food in here though. I haven't been in Mexico or Italy yet but I'll be in some day.
