Quite possibly freebirth this time, actually. Especially if it happens really quick in the middle of the night!

Nice! Pre-emptive. You might need to re-post this on FB when you get closer to popping. Is Lisa your birth advocate again?

Little Debbies!!! When I was in the states I lived on those evil little things. That and 25c tins of soda – MUG? I think I had so much soda over there (it felt wrong NOT to buy it at that price) I really dont like it anymore. I cant say I really found much in America that excited me food wise but I do like the availability of tacos. You never see fast food/street stall tacos here. A friend of mine told me “you know youre in the ghetto when theres a Popeyes on your block” and I lived right across the road from Popeyes!!! Wooooot!

I’d never had fresh mandarins prior to living in Korea. Oh, they are good. And even I’ve had Vegemite, Mel! Not that I’d have it again, mind you.

Something I missed in Korea was white sheet cake. You couldn’t find it. I don’t think you could even get it on post. That was the nice thing about being military, though, was all the American foods in the commissary. That also was why the commissary and PX had ration cards, which was strictly enforced. Apparently, there’s a big black market in Korea for hot dogs! The funny thing is, it was on the economy where I got my Bennigans fix because there was one in downtown Daegu. I could go there and get the monte cristo sandwich and it tasted just like I’d ordered it in the states.

Totally with you on the watermelon Jolly Ranchers.

And mmmmm… Arby’s… It’s still as good as you remember — just not as cheap anymore, unfortunately.
