First of all you should have titled that "Things I miss in America" and I guess you miss ice cream the most. I think you should be careful what you post, I'm scared to come over now. Sounds like a good time to diet. NO STRAWBERRY BLONDE?! No marshmallows? Cool whip is plastic and chemicals. They don't have plastic/chemical concoctions there? You sound like you're ranting but mostly you sound hungry. Maybe you should move to Germany?
Hey amiga, is that a formal request for upcoming visitors???? :-)
it rains not stop there, you can't smell it????
I was wondering the same thing. Does it smell foreign or just like rain mixed with cigarette smoke and cussing?
It doesn't rain nonstop here (Ryan-you are thinking of Scotland- it rained like twice while you were in Dublin) but because the air is thick with moisture you cannot smell rain.
And yes- if you are coming to visit feel free to get some ideas off the list to bring!
