Q: What have / would you miss in China if you went back home?
Besides your Chinese gf/bf or wife/husband?
Fresh veg and fruit wouldnt miss the congrete jungles they keep putting up
Funny when I'm here I cant put my finger on it
give me a day or two back home and I'm sure I can give you a list
I can give a list of stuff I want to leave here
and the way the packing is going the wife will be on the top of the list
I will hate being able to understand the banal conversations people have in restaurants, on public transport etc. Since coming to China I've really enjoyed having more space inside my head for my own thoughts.
Miss my Ayi and the general lack of responsibility and duty to do anything while here...
the variety of Chinese food, back home all it is sweet & sour pork, szheuan chicken, and monglian lamb.
brisguy:
thanks for the tip will check this out when I'm back in town.
I will probably miss some of the food, like dumplings, good fried rice, etc, although that might take a while. I'll miss some of my friends. Other than that, I can't say I know what I'll miss, so ask me again in a month or so.
Lanzhou la mian hu liangu jie dan...

I guess the same "thumbs down troll" found two targets in the same thread, or maybe this one hates reading pinyin.
Street BBQ... I love sitting outside enjoying beer and skewers with friends.... and being able to get around easily without a car
i will miss my peaceful life i am having here ,no worries no tension , i will miss smocking out with friends in cold nights i will miss everything ,caz i got peace here and i will miss it
Strangely enough, I would miss the dining experience. I've really come to enjoy the fact that large dishes of food are ordered and everyone just eats! Having one plate of food to oneself now just seems so...solitary! 
Strangely enough it will be the boot leg dvds because I'm a movie collector. Also, my pet turtle and also the fashion I get to see here in China.
markferrer:
Wow, some "thumbs down troll" either has it out for you or they hate turtles.
Come to Jinan for BBQ,
And if you want to stay and go for another job, just contact me, I am free to help you.

Enjoy your days in China.
I miss being out every night.
Dinner out all the time with friends or the gf...and the bars....at home it's boring.
Oh...and the rockstar thing seems to lose it's effect back home...not sure why?
Sunglasses for 8 RMB? I won't miss China when I'm gone.
No one else has said it yet so I will....
Countless women who could pass for models everywhere you look.
Riding the bus, hanging clothes out to dry, walking their dogs, absolutely everywhere.
You can go all day long without seeing a single fatty. Oops, am I being politically incorrect?
Xpat.John:
Oh, the boat loads of eye candy will certainly be missed. As well as the warm fuzzy feeling one gets when some of these beauties see you and flash a big smile.
I will miss the sleazier side of China. (KTVs, Night Clubs, Massage Parlors, Girl Bars, etc where I use to get 'entertained' by vendors or do the 'entertaining' myself for clients, gov. officials, etc...)
Of course, I am now living in Las Vegas so all the sleaze is still close at hand still, just considerably more expensive.
