1. Clothes Dryer- Almost every household has a washer but they don't have a dryer. They use a clothesline, which makes the clothes stiff and smell weird. Plus, it takes a long time to dry.
2. Dishwasher- Although I don't have as many dishes to wash compared to America, I still wish I had one.
3. Oven- There's a stove but no oven to bake food.
4. My car and driving it. It's too crowded and scary to drive in Korea even though I technically can. Public transportation is so time-consuming and inconvenient with this amount of people.
5. Having actual land on your property. There are no actual houses here. Houses in Korea are the equivalent of apartment complexes or condos in America. In addition, all the "houses" are crammed side by side.
6. Wide, open roads- Only a dream in Korea. No such thing exist.
7. My Samsung Galaxy cellphone and its QWERTY keypad. Although Korean cellphones are pretty cool and have lots of features, text messaging is a pain.
8. Bumping into familiar faces randomly. Also, it's weird to see similar faces everywhere. They all have straight, black hair and Asian faces.
9. Shower curtains- They're not needed here because there is a big drain in the bathroom, that allows water to seep through but still.
10. My own bed and comforter- Luckily, I sleep on the bed and not on the floor, which is normal in Korea. But I would prefer my own.
11. Personal pool- Although it's winter now so I can't swim right now, I would like the satisfaction of knowing that there is one. In Korea, they only have community pools that you pay to get into. Plus, there's like 300 people there since there's not a lot of pools around.
12. The WARM Floridian winter- Yeah, I said warm. You Floridians can say it's freezing now but you don't got any idea of the term freezing. I'm waking up and getting out of bed in 17 F weather over here (and this is without snow). And it's only going to get colder, a lot colder. Believe me, Floridian winter is a tropical paradise by comparison.
13. Mash Potatoe- Don't ask. I just do. I got the strangest craving for them
And the thing I miss the most.....................................
14. YOU!!!!! Of course :) Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. I miss you and love you. See you soon in June 2012!!!!!!!!
