Things I miss about home

sunshine
space
clean air
smiles on people's faces
beautful nature
roads that are not so congested
people that actually listen to you
respect
braais
good-looking men
pools
rosebank flea market
mr price
sundowners
short drives
boerewors
sandton city
northcliff hill
melville
downtown
wits
fresh food
value for money
sunday mornings when the city sleeps
breeze soap
spray and cook
the accents
african music
the trendy clubs and bars
dinner parties
friendly people
conversations with strangers
the sense of humor
analytical conversations about nothing
sunday morning newspapers and breakfasts
sunday afternoon naps and dvd's with kfc
nando's, ocean basket and steak houses
maids
having your petrol filled and purchased for you
good service
car washes
beauty salons
lounging at the pool
radio stations
jasmine at the start of summer
jacaranda trees
the tropical plants and flowers
efficiency
convenience
large open spaces
the joburg skyline
ponte
beautiful houses
big gardens
arty folk
big concerts
thinner people
energy
excitement
blue skies
parkhurst
greenside
