After my epic journey from Phoenix to Jacksonville to Washington, D.C. to Zurich to Bucharest to Chisinau to Comrat, I decided to post about the little things I missed about America while I was in Moldova.
Shower curtains
Non-German beer varieties
Turning on the heat when it gets the least bit cold
Purple mountains
Seeing my own feet (I wear wool socks 24/7 in Comrat)
Not wearing long underwear or anything wool
Being able to walk into a store and look at clothes without a clerk asking you what’s taking so long
Large bookstores
Hoodlum’s (I really broke the bank on new CDs while I was home)
Spin magazine (I just consumed their issue on Pearl Jam...amazing)
Knowing where you can purchase something
Using idioms without worrying if people will understand them
Swearing
My grandma’s potica (delicious raisin and nut pastry)
Riding in cars
Blowdrying my hair (I couldn’t find a hairdryer for the longest time in Comrat)
Paying for things with a debit card
Wearing funky t-shirts
Coffee-maker coffee
Chicken wings
Watching American sports on TV (We’re hoping that March Madness will get some coverage on cable.)
Access to my DVD collection
