Welcome Back, Sucker
Ex-coworker and pal Jon Newton just got back from two months in Europe. He had a couple of pithy thoughts:
I really appreciate toilet paper, both the existence of, and quality, in most public restrooms in the US so far. Yes yes, what a thing to say but its really the small things that make the most difference. In Romania they had either 1) none or 2) party streamers. seriously.
And then:
Simple living was another wonderful part of my trip. I lived out of a medium sized backpack for 2 months and shopped for food at tiny markets... and now i'm home with dozens of tshirts, 4 pair of pants and 2 pairs of sneakers! so much stuff... and i went to walmart yesterday. it almost drained all the europe out of me.
Look, man. Wal*Mart and good toilet paper. Package deal. Take it or leave it. Megastores or cray paper. Your choice.

living in Spain last year taught me to always carry one of those small packages of kleenex in my purse everywhere. You can live without Walmart. :P
