CHEERIO

Goodbye USA. It's been great! I'm going to miss you for sure, but I'm heading back to London for my final term at Le Cordon Bleu. I've made a little list of things I will miss most about you (in no particular order)...

20. Not having to use words like...
-'loo roll' (translation: toilet paper)
-'cocktail stick' (translation: toothpicks)
-'rubbish bin' (translation: trash can)
-'snogging' (translation: making out)
-'bangers and mash' (translation: pork sausage and mashed potatoes)
-'pickled cucumbers' or 'gherkins' (translation: pickles... try asking for a pickle and they'll ask you "pickled what?")
-'trousers' (translation: pants, and 'pants' means 'under where' which can get you in a lot of trouble when you forget to translate)
-'rubber' (translation: eraser, also a dangerous one if used incorrectly)

19. Good customer service

18. Brunch-ing

17. Chocolate chips

16. Dryers (as is washer + dryer)

15. Driving on the right side of the road (actually I miss driving in general)

14. A good burger

13. Wearing flip-flops all year round

12. Bagels

11. Online banking

10. Toilet seat covers

9. Good affordable food

8. Pretty wrapping paper and ribbon that are easy to find

7. 24-hour supermarkets

6. Hulu

5. Sunshine + clear skies

4. Being outdoors

3. Good Mexican food

2. The beach (and I mean with warmth and sand)

1. My Friends + Family
