I actually despise the feather pillows, simply because they need to be punched into proper shape every time I move my head Also I never flip my pillow, I always use one side, and one direction! YES IM A WEIRDO

I also missed that my Laptop was connected to the Internet... what else...well I lived in Petersburg and I loooved it, but having grown up in a hilly/mountain area I actually missed waking up and seeing mountains at the horizon. Oh well, next highbuilding had to do... (Having just returned I think I'd be easier for me to write about what I miss from Piter/Russia )

Yeah, I had wireless Internet (think you need a special card for that or so? anyway I think I left that one home...) at my school but it never worked out and at the end I was too tired of carrying my laptop back and forth andyway...

I like feather pillows and I flip them all night to get a cool spot. I think someone should invent a chilloed feather pillow.

I didn't like them at first, until babushka gave us two huge 70x70cm homemade down feather pillows for our housewarming gift and they had the right amount (lots) of down and didn't need too much punching and fluffing up.

Just as long as the cases, bedsheets and mattress are clean . . . with no bugs or other crawlies - and I'm perfectly content. When traveling abroad I usually try not to think about what's left behind too much. Actually, it's aspects about the other cultures I miss when returning home.
