Things I Miss from the States

Reading: Let It Rot by Stu Campbell

Things I miss from the States:

· Cooking – My host mother usually has dinner prepared for me before I get home from class and is very adamant that it’s perfectly fine for Heather and I to sit and wait for dinner to be served to us like the rest of the family does. We were able to make guacamole one evening, but now that’s simply prepared for us as well…
