2 weeks away from home

Some random thoughts on a Sunday
·       I am seriously craving French toast.
·       I haven’t watched tv since I left the US.
·       Boston.com has an article about gourmet French toast across the city. Sigh.
·       In South Africa, shopping at Woolworth’s is a good thing.
·       The tea here is out of this world. Even the regular Lipton in the yellow box.
·       I could get used to having every meal served to me and not having to do the dishes.
o   Oh wait, I already have.
o   And laundry too.
·       I feel like a caged bird without a car and without public transportation.
·       Locked mobile phones should be illegal.
·       My ipad is not the same without a strong wifi signal but I have a super-sized ipod with  me
·       I think everyone should have a house in both the northern and southern hemispheres.  Perma-summer!
Update:
  • Everyone has their calling in life.  At dinner the other night I had the most amazing challah, baked by an African domestic worker.  My Jewish host said "This was not baked by a Jewish grandmother. Can you believe it?"
  • People smoke here... a LOT.
