Things I miss about England:
free museums of amazing caliber
Waitrose
churches
Christopher Wren everywhere you turn
parks
walking the hills and dales
maltesers, digestives, and other sweets
quirky advertisements
British Council Seminars Series
National Express fares
English Heritage Sites
driving across a country in half a day
accents from everywhere
narrow winding streets
restaurants that we loved and several that we didn't get a chance to try
short buildings
National Trust pathways
walking everywhere
being close to Europe
historical everything
TFL + the associated drama
sandwiches in triangle boxes
the South Kensington Ward
YHAs
the view from the bridges on the Thames
tax included in the ticket price of things
the beautiful coastline
Englishness
Things I Don't Miss
the expense
feeling the need to apologize for being an outsider
TFL + the associated drama
cigarette smoke
the shower in our flat
vomit on the sidewalks
people everywhere
