Miss being able to jump on the tube in London at Lunch or after work and going for short walks or seeking out new/different pubs and beers. Caducus reminded me that I've not been to the opera for over 15 years ROH & ENO were regular haunts

1. For me tap water that is better and cleaner than bottled water is the number one. Makes life much easier.

2. Going fishing anywhere and get fish over 5 kg easily.

3. Over 3 months long day during summertime.

Ah those miserable dark days in the winter, I don’t miss those but I do miss standing outside some of the pubs in the city in summertime with a pint of proper beer having a laugh with all the lads and lasses from the exchanges and getting so pie eyed I had to get a car home, heady, funny, tiring, exciting and sometimes scary days, yes I miss those.
The forest was shrinking daily but the trees kept voting for the axe as its handle was made of wood and they thought it was one of them.

Three things I miss from the U.S…
1: Our Children and Grand children
2: Hillbilly's Bbq and Steaks Barbecue Restaurant in Lowell, North Carolina.
3: Primanti Bros. in the Strip District neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania signature sandwiches of grilled meat, melted cheese, an oil & vinegar-based coleslaw, tomato slices, and French fries between two thick slices of Italian bread

If this was aimed at me (just guessing)
"I think it's sad if u can't remember something from your home country u don't miss, makes me wonder how bad a life u had or what you are running away from"
no need to be sad for me.
This is my home now, Thailand and I have had a great life and an even better one now that I am here
Hope this helps

Doodoo not aimed at anyone just an observation, most people are happy living here but still miss something from our original lands.

*My son.

*Trout fishing in the mountains.

*Clean Nature (very very little trash thrown anywere else but in the trashbins).

*Safe Bicycyle roads.

*Safety in general.

*Justise system that "works".Well mostly..

* Freedom of speach.

*The Right of Public Access ('Allemansrätt'), or Outdoor Access Rights gives you the right to roam the countryside in Sweden in perfect peace and quiet.

*No stray dogs roaming around.

Have a good and blessed day everyone..:-)

Critical thinking....common sense....common courtesy
Colossians 2:8-10...See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ. For in HIM dwells all the fullness of the GODHEAD bodily; and you are complete in HIM, who is the head of all principality and power.
