-American food (especially mom's food and dad's grilling)
-Western toilets (and not having to put the toilet paper in the trash)
-uncensored internet and news
-clean air
-drinking from the tap
-obedience of traffic laws and orderly drivers
-no mosquitoes inside
But I'll miss:
-my Chinese friends
-Chinese food
-the prices
-the fun of practicing and learning Chinese
-the ease of train travel
-free music and movies (ie lack of copyright laws)
Sarah, I'm excited for you to come home for a bit and enjoy those comforts that you miss! I hope I get to see you, even if just for a few hours. I miss you! Love, E
