1. Goldfish crackers. Weird, right? I don't eat them often at home, but I've been craving them ever since I've gotten here.
2. Television shows. Hulu doesn't work over here, something about copyrights or some such nonsense. What it comes down to is I can't watch Modern Family. Sad.
3. Clean air. Everyone smokes in Turkey. Everyone. People on the street, bus drivers-- even one of my professors takes a smoke break halfway through class. Gross.
4. Not sticking out. With the red hair and all, it's pretty clear that I'm foreign, and people usually guess (correctly) that I'm American and don't speak Turkish. But this means that sometimes I'll just get ignored, like when my roommate brings friends in while I'm studying.
Don't get me wrong, being abroad has been wonderful and I wouldn't trade this opportunity. But sometimes everything feels too foreign, and all I want is a milkshake, you know?
I know! I feel your milkshake pain :)
