Peggy in Italy

One of the most common questions that comes up during an English lesson is: What do you miss about America? It’s not such an easy question because there’s not just one answer. I can easily list off all of my favourite products and stores: Tom’s of Maine toothpaste, Whole Foods, Barnes & Noble, Oberweiss ice cream, Jason Natural Cosmetics…and the list goes on. Oh yeah, I love going for Indian, Dim Sum, Japanese, and American brunches. But what I really miss is chilling with my sisters in the living room, backyard, or wherever. Or just listening to This American Life on NPR on the radio while in the car with my sister. Or watching Melania play with her cousins. Or visiting with friends. These things give me great satisfaction.
