This is kind of a silly question, but if you could have one thing (that you don't have now) from your native country, what would it be and why?

Is " freedom " an acceptable response - being able to speak without guarding your tongue, being able to do so many things that you can't here?

I'm doing fine so far food-wise (a vegan in Japan), but what I wouldn't give for...

burritos
falafel
(I miss one particular burrito place and one particular falafel place in California)
vegan treats/cakes/cookies/snacks, just like the ones that I used to bake at home in the States

Oh, and I miss being able to read the labels on the food packages. Give me some time and I will learn...

Dear ladyvenom:

hmmm. This might sound strange, but I sometimes find myself dreaming about American breakfasts; you know, the 'fatty' ones with scrambled eggs & bacon, pancakes, sausage, buttered toast and hash browns.

Europeans usually eat a much lighter breakfast consisting of breads and fruits and maybe some cheese, but nothing that even remotely resembles that big plate of yummy, greasy stuff we eat back home on the farmlands of rural Pennsylvania.

And in Asia, they often eat RICE for breakfast. Talk about yuck. Twisted Evil

Regards,
keNt
