When leaving for Australia there was things which I knew I would miss; my family, my cat, my godsons, my friends...etc. But since being here I've discovered other things which I didn't expect to miss quite as much;
- Monthly trips to Asda with mother
- Having more than four possible outfit choices
- Home cooked food
- Having clothes for every weather condition
- Being able to easily find irn-bru at all times
- Having baths
- Home radio stations
- Knowing my way around a city well
- My dvd collection
- Being able to afford fruit and vegetables
- Being in the same time zone as everyone I know so everytime I want to talk to someone I don't have to work out if I'm about to wake them up/then have to wait until they are up
- Central heating (I currently can't feel my feet)
- Having different mugs for different types of hot drinks (a little OCD but I like it!)
- Scottish tap water
I'm not trying to paint a sob story of my life in Australia, I am having such a great experience and I'm enjoying every aspect of it. However, this year has definitely made me realise I took so much for granted back home and I will be appreciating it all much more when I return.
