Things I miss so far:
(Disclaimer: These are not things that I cannot live without, nor are they things that I am requesting. They ARE things that I honestly am missing at this point in my time in the DR. I repeat, this is NOT a wish list, nor is it an expression of discontentment. I am openly discussing those things that I do not have here or am not exposed to in the DR.)
- West Wing
- Wi-Fi
- Daily Show/Colbert Report
- beautiful Autumn foliage
- watching Philadelphia sports
- cell phone
- family/friends
- relaxed, care-free attitude toward life
- luxury of recylcling & filling water bottle from tap
- U.S. politics
- Sweet Tea
New things I like about the DR:
(These are things that I am overjoyed to have/be exposed to since moving to my new home in the DR. Nearly all are new to me, even coffee which is quite different here but I am loving nevertheless! It is my hope that this list will soon outgrow the list above, as I adapt and acclimate myself to life here.)
- brilliant sunshine
- speaking/re-learning Spanish
- warm weather
- new trees - palm, banana, mango, avocado, etc.
- green scenery - absolutely lush
- CoB community in the DR
- San Juan de la Maguana
- coffee!
- orange juice drink with evaporated milk
- pamelos - a fruit that resembles a grapefruit in size and texture but with a sweeter taste
