Radhika – I miss Tex-Mex when I’m anywhere that’s not Texas, and I miss street food now that I’m back in the States. Fast food is not comparable.

Funny. When I was in Ghana, cheese was first on my “most-missed-things” list too.

While Matador articles generally annoy me, this one is actually spot on and I can relate a good deal having just returned from time spent in Côte d’Ivoire with massive country-wide rolling blackouts.

What do I miss about the States when I’m in India or vice versa?

In India, I crave Tex-Mex, flush toilets for sure, and being able to walk down the street without 10,000 different pairs of eyes staring at me. In terms of the variety of food available, India is ridiculously diverse, so you could walk down the block in any major Indian city and find everything: dosa, roti, chaat, paneer…mmm.

In the U.S., I crave spicy street food (there’s nothing like a roti roll or pav bhaji when you’re drunk in Bandra at 2 am), the companionship of my family, and abundant public transport (I’m from Texas, so that’s certainly lacking.)

While you can get almost anything your heart desires in Panama, it all comes at a price… a hefty price. So while I splurge occasionally, there are still some things that are out of the budget: pickles, reuben sandwiches, and cheesecake!

I miss Reese´s Peanut Butter Cups , Dungeness Crab , Sourdough bread , Dr.Pepper and Root Beer , and Target stores to get cheap everyday stuff.

Hehehe… uh… thanks, Grandma and Grandpa (I wish you’d added what you missed in all your travels).

Linda knows what it means to adjust to what ever situation she finds her self in.
When she graduated from a private HS she was given 12 awards. In college Linda made a significant contribution to the school paper as well as holding down two or three jobs. Linda is blessed with an American father and a Swiss mother. Speaking different languages is not a problem for Linda. Hiking in the Swiss Alps is a way of life for Linda. Where ever she is Linda adopts to the situation.
Linda entered a Marathron while teaching AIDS in Togo. How do we know these things, we are her grandparents.

The variety of food is what gets me.

I missed ice, bagels, and a comfortable bed.
