Home Sweet Home
How is it possible that something so ordinary as a small trashcan bring one so much joy? Because it’s YOURS! Yes, my shipment arrived today. I’ve never been so happy to see a trashcan before…I needed one for the bathroom but instead of spending 30 quid ($60 for you Americans) I decided to tough it out and wait for my shipment to arrive, and of course it was the first thing I unwrapped. The challenge now will be to find a place for everything.
I didn’t think I missed any food from the States, but when I saw the Oreos, and of course my Smore’s Maker, it reminded me of home…hmm, now I’ll just have to find some marshmallows. Grocery stores are weird here, they don’t carry enough junk food! Aren’t marshmallows a staple in every diet?
I had to purchase an Entertainment Unit for my TV, since I wasn’t smart enough to include one in the shipment…I’m rather proud of the fact that I was able to assemble it all by myself. Surprisingly, it hasn’t collapsed yet from the weight of the TV (I’ll give it a few more hours). I do wish my dad was around to hook up all the electronics though. With all the voltage conversions, I’m almost guranteed to blow something up.

MArshmallow alternative in Europe is either Nougat or Marscapone. Copenhagen had this stuff called guulf they put on icecream. It’s almost like marshmallow cream but lighter.
You have to quit converting to dollars. Quid = buying power of 1 buck. Think of it that way. The movie cost $9. You’ll be much happier during your time there.
Well, we have to say goodbye and get a room now.
We miss you (Andreas says, I miss you, too.)
