Another list of things...

Some more things I miss:
  • text messaging
  • Thai food
  • Hi-Def sports
  • Cool autumn temps
  • NPR, specifically, Chicago Public Radio
  • community of friends & family in U.S. (visits are most welcome!)
  • good public transportation
  • dry, facetious humor
  • coffeehouse atmosphere

New things I like about the DR:

  • Dominican family life
  • learning creole
  • cheap taxi rides
  • rice & beans
  • fresh, natural juices
  • learning Dominicanisms
  • wearing short sleeves everyday
  • helping a 7-year-old girl with her English homework
  • Santo Domingo (la capital)
  • hielo fino (fresh fruit with honey syrup over shaved ice--don't knock this until you try it! Irv would probably classify this as a Dominican delicacy, haha.)

FYI, Abby the traffic woman is gone - some new woman named Sarah has taken her place and, while I'm no expert on traffic reporting, I will say that Abby was WAY better.
