Reentry.

It's such a strange concept.  Just had my last night out in London (very good, thanks for asking =D) and am sleeping in my Bloomsbury flat for the last time, broken bedsprings and all.
And there are so many things to look forward to!  For instance, in the good ol' US of A, I can find:

Certain specific very important people!

Suburbia.

Mexican food.

Buffalo wings.

Supermarkets.

Preservatives.

Non-alcoholic cider.

Sunshine.

Gas stoves.

Homemade pasta sauce.

Marshmallow fluff.

And, lastly, SNOW! (although to be fair, London decided to mess with my mind this morning and snow.  I walked around sticking my tongue out to catch snowflakes on my way to visit some UK friends and provided amusement to several uni students)

But, there are so many things I'm leaving behind, such that I'm now considering London for grad school (sorry Mom):

Real, functional, on-time public transportation

Free newspapers that aren't entirely crap

Parks.

Free museums.

Globetrotting.

Pub food...especially Wetherspoon's cheap n' cheerful menu

Bollocks, rubbish, dodgy, and other wonderful words.

Strongbow on tap.  So much better than bottled.

Markets. Especially Borough Market...where I have now been 5 times.  They know me at the "drunken cheese" stand--cheese aged in Prosecco is possibly the greatest thing ever.  For real.

People saying what they mean.

Open culture.

Prof. Tames's walking tours.

Bridges.

“Walking distance.” (anything under 3 miles, of course!)

Keyless entry.

Golden syrup.

Tesco clubcard points!

The theatre.

Parliament.

Debaters who sound way smarter than they are just 'cus they're English.

Children with English accents.

People not being afraid...of anything.

“Way Out →”

The Tube.

Bicycle bells.

TimeOut telling me what to do every night.

Cream tea at Bea's.

Fryer's delight.

Curry feast special on Thursday's at Wetherspoon's.

My tastelondon card.

So many people...

Yes, the London list is longer than the USA list...although that's because I went more specific.  Still, I can't help but wonder what another term here would bring, or even another few years (grad school again)...London's an amazing city with so much to offer (yes, beyond the London Eye and all the tourist stuff...notice that none of that is on here!) and I know I'm going to return within 10 years, if not sooner (Olympics, anyone?).

So, USA, UK, I bid you both good night....and tomorrow, "you say hello, and i say goodbye."
