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.
