Isn't it funny how people who grew up in two completely different countries have the same worries when it comes to traveling. I read your list and it strikes me that, when I moved from Bulgaria to the US those are exactly the things that I took with me. Except the measuring cups. Instead to took a two sets of sheets and a blanket:) What I find hilarious though is the fact that you brought your own pharmacy - I've been here for four years and I just recently started using Advil Liquid Gels because my Bulgarian headache medicine was stopped from production... I've been moving away from packing up the country in my suitcase every time I go home, but I still can't live without my Bulgarian tooth paste!

Anyway, the more I read the more I realized that right now some of the american things you mention I would need if I ever had to leave... the measuring cups no make sense, and don't get me started about the salsa - still can't believe there is no good (or any) Mexican food in Bulgarian. Maybe I would need to pack an entire Chipotle with me...

So mu question I guess is: if you ever have to move away from Bulgaria for good or for a long period of time, are there things that you will terribly miss and will need to pack and take with you?
