I lived in Africa for 2 years in the Peace Corps and experienced all of this. I noticed that most of my fellow volunteers had some kind of comfort food/product that they really missed. I didn't have that. When they had access to it, they were happy. When they didn't, you could see something was wrong. But as time went on, I did miss stuff from home. I missed paved roads and good transportation. I missed anonymity. I missed little things. Things I could never have in West Africa. Oh well, just a thought I had. Great podcast. Hey guys!
