8 pros and 8 cons. See, things are getting better. If you had wrote this your second week, you would have had 2 pros and 14 cons. I am happy too see that you are enjoying the outdoor life there. It sounds like they spend a lot of time outdoors doing exercise healthy type things. Yay for them and yay for you!
I think I would miss the same things and probably enjoy the same things! I definitely wish I could use a subway and have easier ways to recycle and be green here. And our Target is so goddamn far away it might as well be in another country but oh well. Do you all have 24 hour walmarts there? HAhahaha :P.
duuuude the funny thing is that i really really missed target a lot when i was in thailand this summer. i hated not being able to find a simple article of basic clothing that FIT without going from store to store to store looking for BIG size. and you can get a snack and a movie and basically everything you need in ONE place. so efficient. yes! all i know is that korea is one of the only places where walmart completely failed. hahaha. costco is fantastic. in every country. even mexico. thailand. korea. :P
I miss Target too (how consumerist of me) and I was only used to it for a year! Although we do have Targetesque stores here they are not so big and cheap!
