What do you do when you are homesick? It's a lot easier now, because you can call friends for next to nothing if you use Skype, many more things are available pretty much everywhere, and cable television is kind of universal. M

I call friends, and I look for food from home. Movies set in America seem tom make it worse. One of my favorite places to get over being homesick is Singapore. It's more rush rush than the rest of SE Asia, without being overwhelming. I go to a deli behind Raffles and get a corned beef and pastrami sandwich.
