it’s hard to believe that i’ve been here for almost 10 years already… man how time flies! here are some of the things i will miss about the place when i’m gone:
- food places:
- pho bac
- philly’s best
- sushi riki
- tenko
- the taco factory (tustin)
- lee’s sandwiches
- wahoo’s
- trabuco oaks steakhouse
- Diedrich’s coffee (they have the best cappuccinos in the OC dammit!)
- being so close to in-n-out/costco/pinkberry
- the bike trails
- all of the awesome parks and tennis courts
- hi-time wines
- the irvine spectrum, especially watching movie openings there!
- UCI!
- my friends who live here (but don’t think i won’t visit!)
- my 949 phone number that was so easy to remember
- being so close to Jim’s Music… i will always shop for my instruments there
- 50 mph speed limits
- bevmo!
- the goathill tavern and the anthill pub
on the flip side, there will be things i will not miss:
- the racial/economical/etc profiling that i’ve experienced
- everything closing at 9pm
- the commute to work
- the high prices
- that neighbor that tries to open my door unannounced
- worrying about whether or not i will have a place to live next year
exciting things coming in the future! no time to fear change i say!
