I like lists, sue me :)

Top 10 things I will miss about DC and the life I had here:
1. Tapa and Tini
2. My friends
3. Not having to drive anywhere
4. Clean (relatively) metro
5. Great food
6. Deloitte Consulting LLP and all the cool people there
7. All the fun (and random) stuff you can do here
8. Georgetown
9. Ballroom
10. The prettiness (generally) of the city... and squirrels

Top 10 things I will not miss about DC:
1. Tourists on the metro (or in Pentagon City)
2. My clients (except the first one, he was cool)
3. Thunderstorms all through May/June and ice all winter
4. Politics
5. Mold in the metro cars
6. Homeless people who yell at you and call you names
7. Hypocritical, self-delusional people
8. Annoying people that I see in social/work situations
9. Hill staffers who think they are cool
10. Expensive flights anywhere worth going

Not to say that I won't experience any of the good or bad items anywhere else, but these are the things I associate with the last 6 years of living in DC. And of course, there are tons of other things that can go on either of these lists.

To sum it up though, it has been a memorable experience living here and if I was staying in the U.S., I wouldn't live anywhere else!
