Me extraño, Me encanta

Things I miss about the US...

1. Thai and Mexican food
2. Having a car
3. Fountain drinks, free refills, free water
4. Understanding everything people say to me, participating in a conversation without exerting any mental energy
5. Pedestrians having the right of way, not being almost run over even when you have a green light to walk
6. Syllabi, classes that are organized and planned out in advance
7. A university that has a campus (rather than random buildings spread out throughout two cities)
8. People at home
9. Hot showers (rather than just warm)
10. Regular meal times

Things I love about Chile...

1. Avocado...bread...Chilean mustard
2. Completos, empanadas, chorillana...etc.
3. Speaking spanish
4. Living next to the ocean, watching the sunset over the water on the metro ride home
5. New friends, both Chileans and gringos
6. Having a new experience or adventure every single day
7. Chilean nightlife, terremotos, pisco sours, reggaeton
8. Walking a lot, easy public transportation
9. Old buildings, new buildings, Valpo, Vina
10. Learning about and experiencing a new culture
