1. People not laughing out loud in public and people looking at me when I do (which is often)
2. People seriously giving me the up and down stare, not look, when I wear casual clothes walking
3. Paying $30 for ONE Dominos takeaway pizza and $20 for ONE vegie burger.
4. Paying $7 for the smallest Starbucks takeaway
5. Living in one of the most, if not THE, most expensive country in the world
6. Waking up when it's dark, driving to work in the dark and then driving home when it's still dark in winter
7. The minus 16 winter we had this year
8. Not swimming
9. Driving one hour each way to do our shopping in France because it's soooo much cheaper and so much better!
10. Not going outside much for about five months of the year because it's too cold.
11. Working VERY LONG hours! (But then I've been getting 4 months holidays a year, so I can't really complain! *ha ha*.
The highlights of being here, for me, have been:
1. Being able to go away nearly every two months with Rob to a different part of the world
2. Being able to organise for David Rimmer NYC playwright to come stay at our place and work with my students
3. Going to the Blackpool Magic Covention in the UK and getting all inspired for our future, soon to come shows
4. All of the travel! (A repetition of no.1 but I have loooooooooooooooooved it!
5. Working with refugee children from Libya, Afghanistan, all over the world.
Sounds such wonderfull adventure Jodie
