1) Good beer.

2) The variety of food available in even the smallest cities, and the ease with which one can eat vegan or vegetarian, or just buy animal cruelty-free products in general.

3) The wide variety of people. Being back in college for a few months has really re-opened my eyes to how cool it is to be surrounded by a lots of people who all have very different backgrounds. And especially to how nice it is to to be seeing cute girls of every ethnicity while riding the bus.

4) Wilderness spaces where you can just go and be alone in an untouched area. And even for that matter, just having green public areas and grass and trees even along the sidewalks. And clean air almost everywhere!

5) My family. Duh.

That's the top 5. The only I other thing I'll miss is the relative ease with which you can rent movies from all over the world.
