Oz Observations #1: A visit to the grocery store

  1. Stores don't refrigerate eggs. At our local store eggs are to be found sitting on a shelf next to sweet and sour sauce.
  2. They sell McCain products here. If I get a hankering for Superfries or frozen pizza I am all set. Sadly no Deep 'n Delicious cakes.
  3. Kiwi fruit are more expensive here than in Canada.
  4. They still sell decorative toilet paper here. You can get rolls with dogs, sea shells, flowers, frogs and much more. Perhaps it is still available in Canada but I haven't seen any since the light blue and pink rolls at my friends Danielle and Sarah's house in the early 80s.
