deathmatch! massachusetts v. oregon

[aslant]

things i miss about cambridge:

1. british cadbury and kinder buenos at cardullo's
2. reliably cheap sunglasses at newbury comics
3. a lemon poppyseed scone from c'est bon
4. tea luxe! (in which to dunk my scone)
5. the quietness of upper brattle street
6. everyone i could greet on the sidewalks in harvard square


things i love about portland:

1. early spring, and hats barely needed in the winter
2. sidewalks not made of cobblestones and uneven bricks
3. cheap drinks like whoa
4. the unexpectedly awesome got curry?
5. happy strangers
6. so many neighborhoods to explore

but i want to feel more enmeshed in this city -- i'm just nibbling at its edges right now.

[ both cadbury chocolate and kinder bueno are in plentiful supply here. so tell me your cadbury favourites and i'll bundle them up. and if you don't tell me, well, i'll just have to guess :) ]

xo.

we definitely have cadbury, it's just whether it's the uk formulation or not. maybe the australian cadbury is made according to the uk standards? all i know is that the american cadbury has a totally different taste, plus different actual candy bars. what i miss most is the fragile chocolate flake stick, which i doubt would ship well! i don't really need candy bars....i'm really just nostalgic for the fact that it used to be so easy to stroll over to such an amazing store as cardullo's, which had imported european food and treats. it was a very fun store to visit :) you don't have to send me any! i'm pretty sure if i looked hard enough i could find them for sale here, too. i'm just not quite used to this city yet.
