I've been here for close to six months now, which seems incredibly long, and yet the time here went by unbelievably quickly. In honor of this realization, I thought I'd compile a list of the Top Five things that I miss about New York:
- FALAFEL. I can't explain how much. Indian Food. Thai Food. Food. FOOD FOOD FOOD.
- Shopping. The next time I'm in New York, I'm going to hug Macys, make out with Ann Taylor, and have a wild fling with Banana Republic.
- Lifelong friends - and the convenience of just picking up the phone and yapping with them for hours, or making an emergency Viniero's strawberry cake run at 2am.
- Grocery stores being open on Sundays - I never thought I'd miss Whole Foods as much as I do!
- The energy of a big city - the hustle and bustle, and the rudeness, and the jaywalking.
The list of Top FIVE things that I don't miss will be up tomorrow! I know at least half the things in the above list are food related, but honestly, would you really expect anything different? Can anyone else who's an expat relate to any of the above? Or is it just me?

Are you saying the grocery stores in Zurich aren't open on Sundays?
ReplyDeleteAnd you just be careful with Banana Republic. He's a little trampy, and cannot be trusted.
There are only three grocery stores open on Sundays, and they are all by major train stations! And BR can have his way with me, I don't care anymore!
