To miss or not to miss...

Things I miss:
- Shifting gears while driving

- Sundaymorning market in Sint-Gilles
- Goedkoop bier
- Going out to a bar with friends without making plans for it first
- Service and tax included in the bill
- Lunchmeetings
- Summer nights at the pool
- Mosselen
- Social Security and 'gele briefkes voor de mutualiteit'
... and family and friends of course, but they're not 'things'

Things I don't miss:
- Everything closes at 6pm and on Sundays
- Summer is always a gamble
- EAT's back-up system (I'm traumatized and might one day sue HP for that)
- Going out on a Friday night late in October in a t-shirt is NOT an option (it is over here)
- BBQ's are for summer nights only (instead of food on the grill all year long)
- Lintbebouwing
- 100km is a big distance
- the dentist doesn't have a massage chair or LCD TV (but he doesn't charge a month wage either)
