It's All About the Little Things ...

Things I miss about home (in no particular order):

• Canadians!!!!
• Running to Beothuk Park or around Octagon Pond.
• Movie nights with Sheri (even when she did fall asleep during the first 20 minutes).
• Hugs and kisses from Noah.
• Movie nights and home made spaghetti with Karen in Mississauga.
• Darlah's giggling.
• Subway (yes, they have Subway here, but not my fave - a pizza sub loaded with green peppers and onions)
• Tim Horton's steeped tea - sized extra large, thank you very much. I used to treat myself to tea after my daily walks - I miss this a great deal.
• Reitman's
• Roots
• Lululemon
• The Gap (because I'm just a yuppie at heart).
• Watching Jeopardy with Mom every evening at 8PM.
• Watching Spaghetti Western's with Dad.
• Tea with Mom and Dad.
• Dad's BBQ.
• Mom's cooking (and baking).
• Mom's singing :)
• Dad's loud music blaring from his Fender amp. (Rock on, Pappie!!)
• Toronto, and all my wonderful friends who live there.
• My sister, Leah, and brother, Ian.
• Afternoon Tea at the King Edward Hotel.
• U of T campus.
• Queen St West.

Things that I enjoy now that I am in Prague:

• Beer. Cheap and amazing.
• Coffee. Just as amazing, but costs 3 times as much as beer.
• The beauty of this city really goes without saying. There are breath-taking sights everywhere I look.
• The walk-ability of Prague. It's a very pedestrian-friendly city. Sylvia likes this.
• Tesco.
• Tchibo. Here, I can buy a bra, a pepper mill, running shoes, AND a delicious pastry along with a piping-hot cappuccino.
• Getting daily emails from Mom and Dad.
• My weekly phone call with the parents.
• Teaching. Bye bye, desk job!
• Night trams.
• Hitting the town with Gillian - she always brings the fun :)
• Live music at RedRoom.
• Street musicians.
• Starbucks with its' free WiFi.
• Cafe Slavia.
• Old Town at night.
• Potatoes!! No one cooks 'em like Czechs.
• Yogurt - there are a million different kinds, and it's ALL delicious!!
• I love when I am in a public place and overhear someone speaking in English, or when I am in a grocery store and see a product with an English label. Makes me almost giggle with delight.
