Brewed Coffee (not instant NesCafe)
Taking a walk
Food that's not prepared with palm oil
Salad
Fuji Apples
Reliable electricity
Bluegrass music
Silence
Guitar
a Hot shower
being barefoot
people not waiting on me hand and foot
jeans
running
eating only 2 meals per day
movies
Harry Potter
being called by my nicknames (other than "white" in Ewe and Twi)

I could also do without:
Adults speaking to me in Ewe or Twi or Hausa or myriad other languages and then laughing because I don't understand, but not bothering to teach or translate.
Children being ordered to bring me a chair anytime I come out side.
Starchy lumps of staple foods.
Speaking blaring at noise-distorting levels at all hours.
Being an anomaly everywhere I go except Chicken Inn, the most international restaurant in Accra.

Um, okay enough whining. I'm doing okay, and there are good things too. But I'm just past the halfway mark and I hadn't posted in a while, and a list requires less thaught than anything else I could think of. Peace out, yo.
