Things I wish I could find around the corner…

When you move to a new country you miss unexpected things from the place you left. But soon enough you will adopt new consumption habits that you just can’t live without. You move on, the nostalgia list fattens up.

Import/export entrepreneurs in Spain, you would have a definite customer if you brought here:

Sainsbury’s fresh ready made curries (all 50 varieties ) from the UK
Sausages from Simply Sausages (UK)
Marks & Spencer deli/convenience food
Selfridges – the whole shop (UK)
BBC and Channel 4 (it sucks that you can’t access the online service from a foreign IP)
Treacle tart (UK)
Rio juice bars: 100 varieties in strange personalised combinations (Brazil)
Sonho de Valsa bombons (Brazil)
Havaianas flip-flops at 4 euros (Brazil)
Live samba bars (Brazil)
Brooklyn Industries stuff (haven’t really lived there, but who cares…)
Decent bandwidth internet access for a decent price.
