I am in complete agreement. I haven't lived in Japan, but I know from moving between the U.S. and U.K. that its all the silly little things you never think about that you eventually begin to miss. Here I miss sherbet fountains and good pub grub for lunch, there I missed Dairy Queen and Whataburger. When I spend more than a week in Mexico City, I begin craving Tex-Mex refried beans and nachos. These were surprises because I don't want any of those things very often when I'm home.
