Well, Matt, you made me feel pretty sad now because I am moving back to my country and I know I will miss US, but reading your words makes me realize how much I will miss culture, diversity, and the abundance of variety of food from around the world that is available in US, especially in NY. But I miss my family the most, so I am moving back Cheers to all the travelers out there!!!

I’m sure someone has already posted this but you can find Reeces Peanut Buttercups in Australia now (I’ve found them in Adelaide and Melbourne).
Often you’ll find them in the quirky lollyshops down side alleys or other places though.

They have reeses cups here in Shenzhen, China where I live. Also a few here and there in Hong Kong about 1 hour away from here. They used to have Taco Bell Grande here but it’s gone due to low income. Most Chinese don’t like fast food outside of Mcdonald. I miss Taco Bell and Captain D’s and Wendy’s.

Ahh when I go home I am really going to gorge out on food.

Every ex-pat I’ve ever met (including myself) ALWAYS puts some kind of food (or foods) on their list of things they miss from their home country. Food is a total experience for the senses, so I’m guessing that’s why I hear you on the PBCs! I found Ben and Jerry’s PBC ice cream once at my local supermarket, and I felt like I had died and gone to heaven as I devoured THE ENTIRE THING IN ONE SITTING.

I miss inexpensive (but nice) clothing. And having hot water all the time. And floor cleaner that smells like lemons, not bad perfume.
