I have finally begun to miss something from the states!
I miss saying hi to people, and greeting them good morning, even to strangers. I miss people waving as they drive by, or me waving to people walking as I am driving.
People here do not greet strangers, or even say hi in passing. When I return to the states, I am going to make sure to say hello to each and every person I pass, and take pleasure in them greeting me back! :)
