What One Thing Would Make Life Better Living in the US?
 
I went to a brand new Oriental store tonight and got lots of chinese noodles, sauces etc at pretty cheap prices. the guy who had just opened it asked if there was anything i wanted as he had access to a small range of British food. I couldnt really think of anything that I was desperate for but it got me thinking...

If I could wave a wand and one thing would be changed what would make life better and for me?
It wouldnt be
a curry house
thornton's chocs
an english pub
a private jet

Instead I would wipe away the time differences, all those times when I could chat to my family and friends instead of them being in bed.

What one thing would improve yor life?

Few Options
Fish and chips! (good ones)
getting into and through medical school in less than 9 yrs in the states
good public transport
Being able to visit England whenever and not having to worry about vacation time and prices

I hear you, the stamp in my passport runs out this week, going for biometrics this month to eventually get my missing greencard and praying my Mom and Dad stay well.

decent vacation allowance

it's a mite depressing that my recent fortnight in the UK used up my entire vacation allowance for the year.
