Tiana and I were sitting on the couch discussing things that we missed about home, so I decided to write them down.
1)Aladdins Eatery- I could really go for a chicken chili with feta and Cheddar, chicken mishwi salad, or kafta plate
2)Chipotle (or Mexican food in General)- Chicken burrito, umm umm good, or any number of other Mexican foods that I miss so much
3)Teresa's Pizza, Rascal House, Papa Johns (or any pizza place) - Buffalo wings, Large and X-Large pizzas (that are actually large) with tons of cheese and toppings and cheezy bread
4)Fridays & Applebees - good food at a lower prices, great atmosphere, i miss i miss!
5)Olive Garden, Macaroni Grill - Calamari, the real kind and yummy Italian food!
6)Coldstone Creamery - because it's just genius. Ice cream hand mixed with cake and brownie and other goodness. You can't lose.
7)Egg Nog-There's none to be found here
8)Hunan East, Lee Wah's, and even Amazing Wok Chinese Food - cause Chinese food in NZ is just gross.
9)Bombay Sitar - the best Indian food that I've ever had
10)Grums- The best subs. Ever. Jimmy Johns is pretty good too.
11)Wings and fried chicken places. KFC, Popeyes, Mr. Chicken, BW3's, Whitmores... Nuff Said.
12)Birthday Cakes. Cream cheese icing or normal butter cream icing. Yum...NOT Sponge cake like here in NZ! Yuck!
13)Yellow Cheddar cheese, and monteray jack, colby, peper jack, etc cheeses that don't exist here.
14)A & W cream soda and root beer, for floats and overall goodness.
15) Canada Dry Ginger Ale, and Clearly Canadian flavored water.
16)Ice Cream sandwiches
17)Starbucks on every corner, seriously
18)Bookstores- Barnes and Noble, Borders, with a cafe inside
19)Movie Theaters and $1 movies - I never knew how good we had it until I paid $15nzd here.
20)I miss my DVD player and Record exchange discount movies, and Region 1 films
21)Libraries where you can rent movies and books and music for FREE
22)Apartments that automatically come with refrigerators and washing and drying machines/facilities, and heaters
23)Current seasons of TV shows- I sick of being 6 months behind America, not that I watched much TV at home
24)Unlimited Broadband
25)Free Mobile to Mobile calling and free nights and weekends--oh, and being able to use my cell phone
26)Driving on the right side of the road, and the wheel being on the left side of the car
27)My art pieces and my easel
28)My Nintendo 64
29)My Keyboard
30)My Bed- so soft and comfortable
So yeah. There's a lot I miss about home. There's tons more I can add. However, when I go home, they'll be a lot I'll miss about New Zealand too. Go figure.
Mmmm...Chipotle.
ReplyDeleteUnlimited Broadband! (Which means unlimited Inuyasha.)
