10. Seeing new releases when they come out

6. Ice in my drinks without having to ask

3. Used book stores with books in English
2. Watching movies in a theater without English subtitles

Five things I don't miss about the States

This is a 2-part series about what I do and don't miss about living in the States. Let me know what you think!

5. I don't miss stopsigns on every corner. Yield signs are used more frequently here, so you don't have to come to a complete stop when there's not another car in sight.
4. I don't miss traveling for hours to see family on the holidays. I miss the family, but not the travel.
3. I don't miss all the junk food restaurants (just Wendy's!!)
2. I don't miss Rush Limbaugh or Bill O'Reilly, cause they're here. That's what they call news over here on the Armed Forces Network.
1. I don't miss pharmaceutical or feminine hygiene commercials. Not one little bit.
