American

I miss all things american. Having lived abroad so many years I truly feel foreign when I visit. There is only one thing that I truly miss when I am away and that is american food. Its funny to think about and I don’t think I would admit it to anyone, but about once a year, you'll find me crossing the Mexican american border and heading straight for the local McDonalds. I don’t know why I tend to do this; it just seems so familiar to me. I guess it reminds me of my childhood. I mean everything else seems so foreign to me. Even american money seems foreign and different to me after not seeing it for a long period of time. And I'm not even mentioning american music, I have no idea who the new top groups are, and I sit there dumbfounded when family conversation turns to music or american football. After 20 years of living abroad even american university seem different. There are so many foreign students that I think that if I were in school today, I would probably love it because they are all so foreign. So in reflexion I can comfortably say that the only american things that seem familiar to me are the american airline, and the american revolution.
