This is probably quite a personal subject and we all possibly differ in views here.... but what are some of the "non essentials" I miss when serving abroad?
Only a few things comes to my mind.
1.
I probably never watched so little TV in my entire life as I done these last few months!!!
But when I do watch; what have I found?
Well watching in both Nicaragua and Costa Rica (including Cable) there are lots of series, soaps & films + other stuff not worth spending time watching.... and in my eyes it's 100% time wasting.
But why do I say that?
Well being a "knowledge and fact addict"
I found there are VERY few channels we can actually learn anything from, such as documentaries etc.
Its easy to forget we are quite spoilt in UK when it comes to education and informative programs where we can learn something by watching them.
2.
Diversity and assortment in food and shopping is way better in the UK than most other countries in Europe, but compared to this part of the world it us certainly an eye opener in regards to how spoilt for choice we are in both the UK and Europe.
