Breakfast and lunch
It has been quiet here for a while. More often than not, lack of blogging coincides with a very busy real life, and this is not an exception. However, having said that, I must say that I had expected the adjustment to living here to be much harder than it is. Having been in the lucky circumstance that I was able to start work almost immediately after coming here, a daily routing was pretty much forced upon me; get up in the morning, have breakfast, get ready for work, leave, come back, have dinner, wind down, sleep, rinse and repeat.
However, it is often the subtle differences in a daily routine that make adjusting harder. For example, in the beginning I had difficulty to get compatible breakfast and lunch foods. My breakfast typically consists of a bowl of yoghurt and muesli. Finding an acceptable yoghurt that was not more expensive than a gallon of fuel and that did not have the consistency of kwark(sp?) was hard, but after discovering Trader Joe's, that was easily remedied. Muesli, or even better, Cruesli, is known here as trail food and/or Granola, and can be found, but again, is very expensive. Fortunately, the same store provided a solution for that too.
I haven't found a good lunch-routine yet. Going off-campus for lunch is fairly normal here, but just about all lunches involve hot-food and that's not my thing. A simple sandwich (or two) is good enough, but that's hard to find. Bringing my own would be an option, but that just doesn't work (yet).
All and all, the adjustment process is going well, and we are keeping it together.
