my short list

things i miss from home...

  • danskos and sweaters
  • Extracto coffee on Alberta
  • all my favorite little kiddos
  • face-to-face heart-to-hearts with friends and family
  • driving my car, that i don't own anymore :(
  • manicured sidewalks & forested city parks
  • a reliable source for gummy bears and sour patch kids

things i love about here...

  • small space bubbles
  • group aerobics in the park
  • iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk
  • warm weather and nearly constant sunshine (most of the time i love it)
  • getting to bike-ride without having to own cool gear or fold my left pantleg a certain way
  • christmas lights displayed throughout the city on public holidays, even in the middle of May
  • street snacks--fried noodles, sweet potato patties, fried bananas, and kettle corn to name a few
  • the way my bathroom gets soaking wet every time i wash my face or brush my teeth--but it doesn't matter because there's a drain in the floor and everything dries so fast!
  • the endless supplies of coconut juice, fresh mangos and papayas
  • the normality of mid-day naps in public spaces 
  • my amazing friends
  • so many things...
