What do you miss/What would you bring?

Don
By Don

I'm coming in a month or so and a "semi"-serious question. What do you miss the most and what do you wish you had brought with you from home?

Well I guess the most that i missed here was the company of my friends. Still sometimes i am unable to beat the lonliness.

I wish I'd brought more books, as they're somewhat difficult to acquire here. That's pretty much it.

my own pillow case, bedsheet and blanket,something nice and familiar. when i first arrived in dubai, everything was so different, no trees, just buildings (nice as they were), different smell, blah bla bla absolutely nothing familiar...til i went to Spinney's grocery, i think i almost wept when i saw the famliar cereals and potato chips --- that felt good. well just sharing, im sure since it's a rich country, it'll have most of what u'll need:)
