Homesick...

Only nine more days left of my travels and I still have two more stops: Bangkok and Taiwan! And of course, that doesn't account for me being home for four days and then flying back to the Netherlands for another two weeks either!

After travelling for the past two months, these are the things that I miss:

- fresh laundry
- cooking and homecooked meals made for me
- driving, I miss my RSX!
- sleeping in my own bed
- hair that isn't dealing with humidity
- wearing clothes that are different from the four pieces I have been alternating
- my family
- my friends
- my boyfriend
- having conversations that are real, not passing by conversations
- living in a house, not a backpack
- being able to call my friends and bug them
- free internet/wireless
- my laptop
- interaction with people with no language barrier
- US currency
- being pampered
- shoes besides the one pair of Keen's (best shoes ever, highly recommend them!) that I have
- dressing up to go out on a Friday/Saturday night
- cocktails
- hanging out at a bar with my friends
- hanging out at home watching a movie
- real vegetarian options (in Asia, it's tofu or tofu?)
- LA traffic (weird to miss it, huh?)
- working! (I think that after three months of unemployment, I'm starting to lose my brain cells. Although I do need to start job hunting, anyone have any suggestions? Moving to the Bay Area and I need some help!)
- real music besides what is cycled through my iPod
- interactions with my friends outside of the computer!
- hugs. Really, I miss human contact. My hands get kinda bored trying to hug myself!
- putting on makeup and doing my hair (yes, that is quite girly of me)
- perfume (besides the au natural smell that my hippy self is now wearing)
- smog (okay, not really but the air is better in parts of LA than in Asia!)
- rude people (everyone here is so friendly, can't I just meet those people again who tell me to fuck off)
- s*x!!!

These are just some of the things that I miss and really am looking forward to being home and stable instead of moving from hotel to hotel every four days. It does start to wear on you after awhile. And to think that I was contemplating doing this for three months!

Anyway, just had to vent.
