As the end approaches

Although I have been able to get some things which I miss from home I have had them on rare occasions. Other things are just not possible here in India so I present my lists…
Things I miss from the US:

Foods:
Burgers
Salads
Reeses
Wawa- mac and cheese and subs
Cold cuts and mustard and sandwiches (though I’ve had a lot of subway recently)
Good chocolate (most chocolate tastes wrong here)
Chocolate chip cookies
Brownies (home made)
Sushi
Starbucks (There has been some coffee compensation at times)
Mashed potatoes
Mexican Food
Green beans (I don’t know why either)
Bagels and cream cheese
Avocado

Other:

A comfy bed
Being able to throw toilet paper into the toilet instead of into a nearby receptacle
Being in a NJ mall
Summer rains
Being able to cook
Being able to drive


Things I will miss in India:

Tea time
The songs cars play when they back up
Rickshaws
Not getting sunburned!
The really sweet guys who serve us at our meals
Red carrots
Making your own lane of traffic on the road
Soda coming in glass bottles
Weird Indian English

Additionally, I added more photos... Probably the last batch before I leave. I haven't been able to get the videos uploaded yet but I do have a few including our tabla performance and a little tour of the lake area.
