Different types of luxury

Nov 30, 2008 18:42

I´ve just been to the story here where I live - a small-ish town in Sweden - something that I often do quite late in the evenings when I feel the need to pamper myself.

Distance to store: 100 meters.

I picked up a banana from Brasil, a red kiwi from Japan and a chinese pear from China.

Price: 1.5 Euros or 2 dollars.

I know that the food prices are ( Read more... )

We often do not stop to appreciate what we have. I'm glad you did.

Here in America, we celebrated Thanksgiving this past Thursday . . I didn't think about being thankful that we have access to foods from all over the globe.

Thank you, Buffy!

I miss Thanksgiving over here, I wish we had it too. Especially since I love turky:)

Take care, Judy!

oh, we called those round yellow pear from China "crystal pear", they are quite crunchy, I love them.

yeah, they are great, aren´t they? They are like a mix of an apple and a pear. Delicious!

Crystal pear - what a pretty name!

That's one fruity and exotic adventure you went on this evening. And like you said: A luxury. We don't appreciate all the things we do have as much as we should. O, right, I'm moving this week, so I might me without internet for a while. I'll miss that Wikipedia for sure. Have a holly jolly Christmas in case I don't get online before that wretched holiday. Take care.

Oh you´re moving already? How exciting!
But good, that way you will have settled in and everything in time for Christmas. I bet you are swamped in stuff to do. When I moved to Umeå I only brought a few things and I still thought that was a lot of work, so I bet you must have your ass full. I´ll be looking forward to seeing your new place and what you´ve done to it. Must be so great to start fresh with all the different options!

Without internet? This is never a good thing...I hope you´ll be able to get hooked up in your new place as soon as possible. And oh yeah, without Wikipedia we would still live like in the middle ages.

Now, don´t freak out and take it easy!

Many hugs
