since we are coming up on our six month anniversary of moving here, I couldn't resist to share this!
Feel free to click the link, I just highlighted some of my favorites!
1. Convenience Store - I was actually just thinking today how nice it would be if I could walk down the street and grab some toilet paper (since we were out and it would be the worst to come back from vacation sans tp). Convenient stores in general are few and far between!
2. Soda - Eh, don't really care, but Mark misses his Mt. Dew (not diet - I married a 10 year old).
3. Ice - TRUE.
4. Iced COFFEE - I MISS IT SO MUCH.
8. Electrical Outlets - Finally getting the hang of this since we bought mini-adapters for every outlet!
12. Free Bathrooms - Yes, you have to pay to use a public restroom, but they are CLEAN!
13. Peanut Butter - You already know how I feel about this!
15. Personal Space - Yeah, the French kiss even when you don't know each other. I'm still getting used to it. And I still forget all the time! The best is when you try to shake someone's hand and they wonder what you are doing!
17. No Smoking - True. We are the minority.
19. Football - Mark misses this! I did see some guys throwing it (well, I could have probably thrown better) on the beach Sunday. Maybe I'll make some friends!
20. American Candy - Mark wants SourPatch Kids ASAP
21. Cell phone coverage - Don't have one! And I do have to say, it's GREAT!
22. Swim trunks - (and tops) Already talked a little about this!
24. American Holidays - Well the French get more holidays than anyone I know, BUT it will be strange to send Mark to the office on the 4th OF JULY!
25. Ketchup - Mark's got this one too...
28. Pancakes - Aunt Jemima to the rescue!
29. Air Conditioning - It's not hot here.... yet!
31. Food delivery - Got it! Just don't know how to order it!
32. Screened Windows - YES! I WANT THEM NOW!
33. Store Hours - I never know when anything is open! I still go around lunch time to find a "Store Closed" sign on the door... usually hand written!
34. Bagels - The pastries win!
35. USD - COINS, COINS EVERYWHERE!
