As this is the last day in Syria before I come home for Christmas I thought it would be fun to compile a list of the top 10 western indulgences which I’ve particularly missed over the last 3 months:
1 - Broadband. Definitely number one. Not being able to look up the national anthem of Paraguay at 3 o’clock in the morning has had a severely detrimental effect upon my general well-being. Alongside the lack of internet shopping and the inability to download anything.
2 - Facebook
3 - Free press and lack of governmental censorship
4 - Microwave
5 - Central heating
6 - Ability to flush loo paper
7 - Fresh semi-skimmed milk
8 - Sheets
9 - Opening hours
10 - Functional washing machine
