What would you miss?

What I will miss about the American life:

1. Being able to do simple things like ordering a pizza without dealing with a language barrier... though that isn't always true here, either!
2. Living close to my family and friends
3. A sense of urgency in customer service
4. Meijer
5. BBQs (though becoming more popular, there's nothing like an American BBQ)
6. Griffin's games and Michigan football games
7. Peanut butter
8. Smiling and saying "hi" to people who I pass on the street
9. Fully functional and (relatively) sanitary public restrooms (toilet paper included)
   
10. My puppy!
11. Thursday nights on NBC: The Office and 30 Rock
12. Barack Obama
13. Long hot showers for free

What I look forward to in France:

1. Not having to drive or pay for gas

5. Not tipping at restaurants
6. A regular salary and paid vacations!
7. Being employed in general
8. Having the ability to easily travel to some of the most amazing cities on earth by train

10. Ameliorating my French
11. Making lesson plans and teaching English
12. Wine, cheese, and baguette picnics
