We have sattelite t.v. in california and get pretty much any channel we want...especially the European football. If I remember correctly, we had to have the dish re-directed so we COULD NOT receive snooker...hehehe

I wonder......
would it be possible to receive BBC (or any other West-European channels) in the States through a dish? I'll miss European soccer and snooker.....

I'm from Jakarta, Indonesia.
What I miss the most is:
- MY FAMILY!!
- Public transportation (we live in a small town)
- Real cheese (cheese here doesn't taste like cheese)
- Watching European soccer/football games on national tv
- Watching real grand prix (not NASCAR)
- All natural juice
- Big and cheap avocados (I love avocado juice)
- Indonesian food
- Traditional (messy) market
- Tropical climate (dry climate makes my skin and lips extreemly dry)

Re: What do you miss most?
After a couple of months in the good ol' USofA I'm pretty much done with missing things from the UK.
Many thanks go to http://britishdelights.com/ for their ability to deliver all the food goodies I miss. Being a Leeds Utd supporter, I no longer miss football (soccer...grrrr). I'm living in Northern California so be sure I'm not missing the weather.
Yup, life is good

Re: What do you miss most?
I miss Tesco's/M&S/Waitrose ready prepared foods. The prepared foods are so expensive here and not as nice.
I also miss Eastenders and Casualty.
Tho its nothing compared to missing my family
At the moment that is all I miss.
I Love dunkin donut coffee, living close to shops (i used to live in the country), love being close to bars etc so that i can socialise without having to drive and not drink.
AND I LOVE MY HUSBAND

As far as what I find annoying here in the states, honestly apart from my hardship getting my interim EAD, I could say I am doing well with adjustments living here and being with my husband. Its worth it.
