Things I’ll Be Happy to Get Back To
Paris is truly wonderful, but there are some small, simple things back home I miss. Spending time abroad not only helps one understand other cultures, but it gives you a true appreciation for your own. Here’s a list of some things I looking forward getting back to:
- Big breakfasts with pancakes, sausages, eggs, toast, OJ… you know, the works!
- Sweatpants & Sweatshirts- sweatpants aren’t exactly accepted in the fashion capital of the world. I fought long and hard with myself over whether or not to pack a pair. In the end, I left them at home for I knew the temptation to wear them out would be too great and I didn’t want to be THAT American in Paris.
- Hats- I miss wearing my Stanford hat around: another faux pas.
- Taking showers standing up
- Fluency
- Leaving the door to my room open- personal spaces are private here.
- Easy access to workout facilities
- Eating a quick dinner, and by quick I mean ten minutes maximum, not an hour.
