If you had to leave LOS permanently, what would you miss?

Featured Replies

I wouldn't know what I missed until I returned home. After 15 years away I've forgotten what life at home is like, and it has changed a lot since I left.

 

There is one obvious miss. 7Elevens and other 24-hour convenience stores on every block. These are a godsend for a night owl.

They've all been mentioned but for me it will be mainly the food and cheap massage.  A bit also the great malls, good bookstores, and wide variety of nice restaurants.  

Unfortunately, a lot of these "nice" restaurants are being very sneaky with this service charge nonsense.

Me too Trans.?

I tried it once. Turns out the answer was, “Everything.” Especially the A** Blaster. Won’t make that mistake again, if I can help it. 

Amazing how many would miss the bum gun. When I returned home, I knew I would not be able to live without my BG, but wasn't sure how I would be able to get one installed as I didn't know where I would end up. So in the interim, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I bought portable bum guns of the variety shown below. Ahhh, bliss ... I feel human again. You can buy these on ... (you know where, Mr Ma) --  search for "portable hygiene sprayer".

Naw, I leave these to the wife.

I would miss loads, and I did when we moved to England for two years recently.

 

  • Having a great pool and gym right where we live
  • Going out to different restaurants all the time
  • Going to the cinema cheaply
  • Cheap shopping and electrical items
  • Definitely the bum gun (we tried to have one fitted in England but couldn't do it)
  • Buying an iced coffee and fresh fruit EVERY DAY for next to nothing
  • Regular holidays
  • The cool season
  • Seeing attractive women every day
  • Wearing shorts and t shirts outside of work all year round (I can't remember the last time I wore jeans)
  • Watching English football on a Saturday night

There will be loads more too that I can't remember right now.

We inquired with quite a few plumbers but couldn't do it. The water temperature was the main issue.

Of course, watertemp is an issue, then a bideet will be right up your alley then ? 

The immediate service one would get fixing a flat on the bike and the price tag that comes with it.
