1 Week Later

I have been home for a week now. Everyone said to expect a little culture shock - I didn't think I would - and I'm not. Well, kind of. It hits a strange times. There are moments in the last week where I would give anything to be back and other moments that I'm so happy to be home.

Things I miss about London:

- Never being bored (there was always something to do, close by)
- Not driving (I hate looking at the gas tank drop - maybe some of this has to do with the fact that i'm not driving my lovely car - but seriously, I hate putting gas in a car)
- Low cost healthy food at the store that looks fresh.....seriously I don't want preservatives.
- Public transport - but that goes with the whole car thing
- Ethnic food (maybe that's because I live in Muncie)
- Pastry
- Culture
- Affordable art/music/dance
- Walking everywhere

Things I'm glad to have back:

- Nathan (maybe I should just take him to London)
- My cell phone with a keyboard
- The ability to call my family whenever I want
- Fast Internet
- Street signs/road names that you can read - in other words, I don't have to get lost because the road names are posted on some buildings.
