There are somethings I can't help but notice that are missing from life here....Those delicous melty morsels that every mother throws into thier kids' favorite cookie. Alas, you won't find it here. There's plenty of marzipan though.
The streets here are filled with bikes and pedestrians, and public transport is efficient and readily-available. And if you do have a car, you're more likely to buzz around in a little pop can rather than fork out the money for something bigger [what some Americans might refer to as a "real car"]. But when cars cost about twice as much, and gas is the price of gold that bicycle starts looking really sexy.This one just breaks my heart. I'm a bit of a kitchen efficiency effianato, and living without ziplocks in the kitchen is a bit like asking me to play the guitar without the use of my thumbs.  |

- Starbucks.
It's true... I live without Starbucks. I've seen one in the airport, but that's about 3 hours away from where I live. Gasp! Actually I'm not much of a fan usually, but when you're aching for something familiar, the evils of corporate America is a lot less important than my hazelnut cappicino and old friends!Ay chiwawa! Yes, I have finally found pinto beans here and have mastered a home-made version, but you can forget about buying them anywhere. And forget about finding a Taco Time, Muchas Gracias or any Mexican restaurants for that matter. Danes are putting away a lot more roasted potatoes, pickled fish and remoulade than anything from south of the border (and so am I!).
