Expatriates-What do you miss about your home country? 
If you aren't living in your country of origin. What do you miss about it if anything at all? I miss... Reading the Sunday papers A real decent pub Not having to watch sport at ridiculous hours Fish and Chip shops Sainsburys Im sure there is more. Odd that that map should show Rotherham and not Sheffield! There's Joy In Expatriation. | |

- Friends and family - Fresh milk from the dairy Korean milk is OK but it stinks if you drink it straight from the carton. I imagine Thai milk is the same. I cant remember ever having Thai milk on its own. I love milk being delivered in a glass bottle back home too. There's Joy In Expatriation. | |

I cant remember ever having Thai milk on its own. I love milk being delivered in a glass bottle back home too. Thai milk from Tesco, 7-11 or wherever tastes the same as milk bought from somewhere similar back home to me, that is, not nearly as good as fresh from the dairy. I don't drink milk anymore.

I visit the U.S. a bit too often to feel I'm no longer there, but, honestly, what do I miss? Target stores and biscuits at KFC are about it. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
