So, second post. I've been wanting to do this one for a while. 

Things I miss about America:

Friends/family
Hot water from the tap
Drinkable water from the tap
Sushi
Cajun food
Mexican food
My comfy bed
Bathtubs, although I hardly ever take baths
Effortless communication with people I need things from
It NOT taking an hour to get anywhere
Being able to go see a good movie at the cinema easily
Large bodies of water inside/right next to the city
The abundance of trees

Things I love about Turkey, and will miss when I go home:

EVERYTHING ELSE, especially
My host family
Visne suyu/recel
ekmek
baklava
that sesame dessert my family buys me cuz they know I love it
hearing the language every day
the niceness of the people in general
wearing slippers at home
cay
making/hearing funny language mistakes
the ability to go to the hamam
traveling almost every weekend
my little room
cheap, abundant fruit
...and plenty of other things that I can't think of right now.
