This is a pretty harmless thread hopefully it doesn't some how get morphed into a hate fest, whether Korean or Western slanted.

1. Family and Friends
2. Grass and farms (The way it feels when you walk on it on a summer day)
3. Turkey Sandwiches.
4. Driving my car.
5. House parties.
6. METAL!!! Going to see live music. Oddly enough country music, I don't really like it but for some reason now its some what comforting and nostalgic to me.
7. Karoke bars and wing night.
8. Being understood and able to communicate with the majority of the population around me.
9. People watching in Walmart, its a fun hobby of mine when I had to go grocery shopping.
10. Chinese food, or the bastardized American version anyway. General Tso chicken please!

Things that I will miss when I leave Korea

1. Korean friends, expat friends.
2. Korean bbq restaurants.
3. Cheap taxis.
4. Subways, buses, actual and useful public transportation.
5. Busan
6. Ability to travel.
7. Free apartment
8. Easy job.
9. K-girls. (cliche, but don't kill me)
10. Feeling of relative safety even though its four in the morning and I am walking home in a large city alone.

Chili Cheese Fritos. Granted, their relative absence from the peninsula doesn't make my heart ache and/or drive me into a feral rage, but every now and again I miss them.

I miss bigass grocery stores where you can get anything that you want at anytime. Choices. I miss the choices back home.

Variety and quality of food, driving, blockbuster, movies, tons of variety of tv channels, communication, shopping for clothes and not being followed, quiet stores where people aren't shouting in your face to buy something, dressing rooms with proper doors and mirrors inside, clothes dryer, bed sheets, greenery, blue sky, gardens, houses, family, friends, drug stores...
