Default How many people feel 'homesick'?

You're away from home, having the time of your life teaching our fine language to eager students. Things are a bit different to back home, but that's good, yeah?

So, is anyone thinking about heading back? Are you missing familiar faces, sights and sounds?

Where are you, how long have you been there, and what do you miss (if anything)?

To start you off, I've been in Sardinia for 7 years and love it (for the most part). I come from London originally and to be honest there's very little I miss. One thing that's needed here though is more choice, of everything - shops, services, education, transport etc. Very often you literally have no choice, therefore the laziness and ineptitude of staff is quite remarkable. When I go 'home' I'm taken aback by how polite and helpful people generally are. That's what I miss the most.
