What DON'T you miss from home?

Ha! A complement (stupid 'i' and 'e') to the "What do you miss from home" thread.

I don't miss having to drive for 20-30 minutes just to have a coffee with someone. Here in Spain there are bars and cafes just below the apartments so it is much more social and everyone lives in the streets.

I also don't miss the weather. In Canada is it still snowing and raining. I mean I love the winter and snow and all the great sports (skiing, snowshoeing etc) but for so many months it gets very frustrating.

You're in Spain? Wow. My wife and I want to go to Spain for a year before we return home. I am fluent in English and Spanish and I would love to brush-up on my Spanish seeing as how it has been over 5 years since I had last spoken the language fluently for more than 5 minutes.

Spain is great. I wanted to come here for a year but it turned into a life time. 🙂 Be careful...Spain is really great...you might never want to leave!
