It'd be nice to go home, but a $1200 plane ticket and a $400 train ticket and a trip halfway around the world doesn't come easy.

Ask your family to send you some stuff from home or that you can only get from the lone star state. It won't be the same as seeing them obviously but some familiarity can really help.

I did bring that, thank goodness. I'd show you guys the pics of me wearing it, but they aren't appropriate

In all seriousness, I'm hurting right now, really hurting. At least I'm not drinking, that could really go bad!

We don't have any of that here either.

I believe my digestive tract is happy about that. No doubt yours is too.

I can understand missing things, but Whataburger? I could never see one again and be a happy man!

Hey, just keep posting on the forum and we'll keep you company!

Perhaps if you were on the other side of the world you might start getting a little hankering for a Whataburger.

I've never heard of Whataburger, is that a chain or just some crazy texan thing?

Buy a Whataburger franchise and set it up in Japan. You'll have all the Whataburger you can eat, a business to run to keep you occupied, and a great source of extra income.

Then you can make all your employees wear cowboy hats and greet customers with "Howdy".

What? No Blue Bell ice cream? My Texan friends go nuts for that stuff. When one of them got cancer last summer (he got better) I had to fly 300 miles to El Paso to pick up a cooler full of Blue Bell and dry ice. Talk about happy Texans!
