Meh, it's been two months. I don't think I have quite lost any NZ habits, but I am starting to get into the American way of doing things. For instance freeway speeding (you have to otherwise everybody overtakes you and shakes their fist which is more dangerous), eating lots, not walking and taking the car.. well I guess I am not that bad, as I'm still cooking 90% of my meals :D
Well so far the lessons learnt here in America are:
- Never buy Hershey's milk chocolate, it's the worst tasting chocolate ever in the history of the entire world!!
- Chips are extra salty here, so chose carefully otherwise your lips will shrivel up, chap and break..
- Light beer doesn't mean low alcohol beer, it just has less energy (calories) in it.
- Give up on finding proper museli, it doesn't exist here.
- The variety of food on offer here completely eclipses what you can get in NZ.
- Traffic here can be horrible, if it's peak time or a popular destination you can expect to sit in your car for a while and not move very fast.
Oh and a thanks to all those people who have been writing emails/instant messaging me and keeping me up to date with what you are all doing. [sarcasm] To those that haven't been - go to hell! [/sarcasm] :P
