Bizarre things I miss, #1

So there are things I expect to miss - like friends and family and classes in English. There's obviously the entire section of "food." But then there are the things I wasn't expecting to miss, like...

American-style outlets

This isn't because I don't have a converter and just wish that all my things could plug in anywhere. I do have a converter, and most of my things (of the four I can think of anyway) are now French style outlets anyway. But the plugs! They're so big and unwieldy. And the outlets for them are these huge, gaping wholes in the walls. They're just not pretty in the least, and slowly, as time passes, I become more and more afraid of them. I miss the tiny, petite, graceful American outlets.

Yup. Bizarre things I miss.
