We went over in the morning to pick it up and also got to ask her a bunch of questions. In addition to the highchair she gave us some baking powder, vanilla and cinnamon! YAY! Now we can eat pancakes and make some tortillas! I just cannot believe how much I took for granted until we moved here. It seems like an exaggeration to say that you cannot find these things here but you really can't. There is a store called City Center that has some imported stuff but it's 4 times the price. For example, they have a box of cereal there that is half the size of a normal box and it is $10. Outrageous! We were able to find some oatmeal at a local grocery store for $3 so that's what we're eating for breakfast.... but tomorrow we're having pancakes! =)
I could probably make a list of 20 items and that is what is in every store here, nothing more. That also seems crazy, but here is a picture to illustrate how this can be possible.
So this shop is pretty small. It has a total of about 6 aisles. 2 of those aisles contain home goods such as dishes, rags, toothpaste, etc. 1 aisle contains crackers and those sorts of things. The point is, is that there is 1 whole wall dedicated to oil! In a larger shop like Tesco there would be two long rows filled with oil. We went to the store several times before we were able to buckle down and buy one. There were just so many to choose from.
