So, in order to cope with my sadness, I'm blogging :) Below you will find two lists: 1. Ways that I have "become Taiwanese"/things I will miss, 2. Things I'm excited for in America (in 9 days!)
Becoming Taiwanese/Missing Taiwan:
- Umbrellas: It rains a lot here in general, but I came during a particularly rainy season, so umbrellas are everywhere. I've grown accustomed to having one in my purse at all times (something I never did at home).
- Milk tea: As I realized that I'll no longer have this at my disposal in a week, I have been intensely craving it. Seriously delicious stuff. My goal is to have it at least once a day until I leave.
- Walking: I LOVE walking everywhere. I'm really gonna miss being able to walk to the grocery store.
- Chinglish: <3
- My room: This is the first time I've lived "on my own" (I'm in a dorm with a hundred other girls, but I've had to buy my own groceries, etc.) and I've grown attached to my room here. I have to move to another building this weekend and packing up my room has been super sad.
- Food: Despite the random duck blood and squid tentacles, I've really enjoyed the food here and will definitely miss it (especially all the fruits and veggies).
- Students: Sweet smiles....Chinglish....bringing me food....asking me how to pronounce words....everything.
American Things I'm Excited For (in no particular order):
- Family and friends
- Worshiping with my Providence family
- My bed
- Ranch dressing
- Pizza
- Boneless meat
- Fewer mosquitoes
- Driving
- Summer cook outs
- Unlimited texting
- Dairy Queen
