Things we can't help but miss:
Friends and family (of course!)
Listening to live sermons in English (cd's just aren't the same...)
Good Canadian milk
waxless chocolate (in order that chocolate bars won't melt outside the fridge here, they contain a wax-yummy) the junk food here is just that, junky, it makes Canadian junk food seem, well, good quality...
real ranch dressing out of a bottle
Sausages
pork chops
Mississippi honey mustard
parks with playgrounds and nice grassy areas to play in and maybe a nice stroller accessible trail to walk...
Fruit snacks
granola bars
Tostito's tortilla chips - I have once bought a bag of Dorito's-type chips here and they were cheese flavoured, cost me 35,000 rups and then they were sold out...
sour cream
nachos with cheese
Squeezable Heinz ketchup (we can get ketchup, but it is ABC or DelMonte brand and comes in small glass bottles)
Sliced deli meats
bags of prepeeled, ready-to-eat baby carrots
Long English Cucumbers
Lipton Chicken noodle soup
Earl Grey tea (I just used my last bag from Canada two days ago... sniff...)
frozen vegetables in bags ready to cook!
McCains french fries
Being able to go to the mall and find good quality clothes, shoes, toys etc...
being able to use a relatively clean flush toilet in a public place
being able to go to a doctor and know that, most of the time, you will get good advice (right now there is no expat doctor in Sentani so we rely heavily on the expat nurses for advice)
Being able to go to one store, like Real Canadian Superstore, and buy pretty much everything you need (here we need to go to about three different shops to get just the basics and then to the market for the fresh stuff if the grocery store is out, which it often is - lately the seas around Indonesia have been quite rough so many boats are delayed and everything little thing that is sold in the stores here (except some fresh produce and chicken), comes on a boat so you know what happens when the boats are delayed...)
Believe it or not... McDonalds food... actually, I personally love the A&W Mozza Burger... but the kids... we can get hamburgers at one of the local restaurants, but I've heard talk that the meat isn't actually beef it's from an animal that barks... But my kids still love them anyways....

Things we know we'll miss when we are back in Canada:
Fresh pineapple (unbelievably yummy!)
bananas - yes I know you can get bananas in Canada, but did you know that they don't actually taste like real bananas? More like cardboard...
People coming to the door to sell fresh pineapple and bananas and veggies at really low prices
Authentic Indonesian chicken satay (also rather yummy)
being able to walk to the pool and swim whenever we want
The beach!!! The beach here is amazing!
Snorkeling by the coral reefs
riding the motorbike
5 minute bus ride to and from school

Notice how the majority of what we miss is food related... I never realized just how much food makes you feel at home... man my stomache is growling now!!
We've been here for about 1.5 years now and I guess we're getting to that stage....
