I miss my sister.

EDIT: Just noticed you said besides friends and family. Hm. I miss macro vegan bento boxes at health food shops (I'm not a vegan, but they're tasty) and brown rice sushi.

[Sister Ray]

Record shops.

Historic buildings and charming neighborhoods
Public libraries
Portillo's, Potbelly, Chipotle
Normal pizza
Snickers bars that taste right

After 10 years here.... pretty much everything.

[cdninkorea]

Ben and Jerry's ice cream (it was here in 2005, but gone at the beginning of 2007).

The absence of people spitting all over the place; on the street, in the subway terminal, and so on (yes, some people spit in Canada too, but not in the middle of a downtown city like you see in downtown Seoul).

[NohopeSeriously]

Good pizza
Good Indian restaurants
Good Chinese restaurants
Good Middle Eastern restaurants
Good Russian restaurants
Decent fish and chip places

French TV shows
Listening to Cantonese, Urdu, Somali, Lebanese Arabic or Egyptian Arabic (It was a daily thing for me)
Hilarious Alberta-related jokes
Cat-friendly people
Parks
Lack of military-ish tensions (I'm absolutely sick of seeing uniform-wearing soldiers near the metro station)
My family in Montreal and Ottawa

[mike in brasil]

I miss being round fellow Mericans.

These locals are pucked in the head.

[jfromtheway]

English
Southern BBQ
Mary Jane
Pizza by the slice
Hot weather
Not being asked how old I am before someone asks what my name is
HBO
Cheap wine
Lesser amounts of old people strolling around everywhere
People who adopt a random foreign culture as their own, because they're limited in mental scope and state of mind, merely to make up for their own personal shortcomings.

Like Swampfox said, pretty much everything.
