General What do you miss most?

[Sped]

We used to bring the whole country any time somebody came.
We have a nerdy picture of us from a couple of months after we got married, posing iwth a suitcase of stuff my mother sent. It had ketchup, rice, whipped cream, tights, deodorant, The Jewish Press, toilet paper, Pringles, and I honestly can't remember what else. There was tons of stuff there. Now when my parents ask me what to bring, I can't think of anything. Maybe only Dramamine and Benadryl. They really have everything here now, and we've also gotten used to Israeli brands of things by now.

Pain killers - generic brands of Tylenol, Advil, Aleve. They are so inexpensive there.
Also antibiotic ointment is good to get.
I used to bring in shaving cream for my kids (and kids in my gan) to play with, but it's no longer relevant.

We were in New York a few years ago, and I was in Rite Aid and saw a box of 500 pills of ibuprofen for a joke of a price, so I bought one. The same day, my husband was in CVS, and not knowing that I had bought it, he bought a box of 1000 pills of ibuprofen.
The day we were flying back home, my BIL handed me a bag and said it had something in it he thought we might find useful. You guessed it. Another 1000 pills of ibuprofen. We we came home with 2500 ibuprofen pills. Even if c"v we all had a headache every day, we wouldn't have been able to finish it before the expiration dates. We donated one bottle to my son's yeshiva's medicine gemach (he said everyone was afraid to use it because it looked weird and unfamiliar), and we kept the rest at home. Eventually, we threw out about 1400 pills because they were past the expiration date and we couldn't get rid of them. (No medicine gemach wanted them either.)
So now we're back to buying Nurofen in the kupat cholim pharmacy.

I Mostly miss my family there.
and also when i go back it's really hard to feel the outsider.
here i'm called the american and there i'm called the israeli.
so i'm basicly nothing.

I can definitely relate to that.
Since I left the US in my late teens, I never worked in the US and don't really know anyone outside of school.
And here in Israel, I don't have Israeli classmates (ok I was in school for a bit but don't count that)
Mentality-wise, not here, not there

wow, it's not that dramatic!
(it felt good to be validated, though)

Can I do the opposite?
I used to live in Eretz Yisroel and today I live in the US.
There's so much that I wanna bring here!!!
I want to bring the school system of Eretz Yisroel, the frum literature and books, the חוגים - after school program in school. I think that in Israel they are much more in to developing talents and skills of children.
and I would also like to bring in some Strauss' מילקי too... ​
