Recently, someone
asked me what I missed about home while I was in Tanzania. There were tons of things, namely friends and
family, but I hadn’t thought about it in a list-type form. I struggled to say what I miss. So I’m trying to articulate it here.
1.
Long, hot baths.
2.
A freezer, but mostly just the ice cream one could keep in it if one had
a freezer. Or if one lived less than an
hour from the closest ice cream.
3.
Being able to expect that something will happen when it’s supposed to,
not delayed by countless unforseen obstacles.
4.
Target, where you can get just about everything. And it has a price tag on it. And there are well-lit, wide aisles. And no one is yelling “sistah, sistah,
carroti, cabbage, onion, sistah!!” at you.
5.
Lazy Friday evenings when I would get Chicken Masala take-out and a $1
DVD rental from Redbox.
6.
Dryers for clothes.
What do you think you would miss the most if you were away from home?
