As for me,
1. a greek salad
2. Dad's Chocolate Chip cookies
3. licorish
4. cheese, cheese, and more cheese
5. peperoni sticks
6. deep dish apple pie
7. poutine
8. North American Chinese food
9. smoked salmon eggs benedict
10. a Ceasar salad
I also want a decent high pressured shower, my clothes dried in the dryer with a Bounce sheet, a comfortable bed, CBC radio and television ( can you guess I'm Canadian), a warm bubble bath, drinkable water from the tap, London Drugs, a swim in ocean, a campfire in the forest, a visit to the library , shopping for shoes and clothes in normal sizes , etc.
How about you ??? |

op, that is a good list, made me a tiny bit homesick ~^^
but I would add:
avacados on toast with salt or with a spoon straight from the skin
a hot water bottle (its winter now)
spinach and cheese pies
chives cottage cheese on crackers
open fire place
camping with fire and marshmellows (never seen them here)
ride a bike on the correct side of the road and without fear of being killed
and if it was summer: a family BBQ on GRASS surrounded in TREES with potato salad and garlic bread. |

You can listen to CBC where you are now through Internet streaming, can make great ceasar and greek salads, swim in the ocean, camp in the forest, eat pepperoni sticks and licorice, I know because I've done all that here, to pleasant effect (except for the imported licorice, uggh, I only like red, not black).
But meeting old friends, going to the library and getting great versions of these following things are indeed beyond one's best efforts in Korea:
