1. The meat - it may taste good, but WHAT IS it?? And I think I'm getting sick of sausage. Would you care for pork, pork or pork? Yes, I'm aware that meat made both lists.
2.The so-called queues (or lines) - Everyone here needs to go back to kindergarten and learn how to get in line. An orderly, straight line. It seems that when you are in a store, people just crowd you. They do not stand behind and wait their turn, unless you give them a look that rightly establishes you as the alpha customer. And no one seems to get out of the way after they've finished their transaction, they just stand there and make the "line" wait even longer. Very irritating.
3. (Almost) Everything closes on Sunday - what, do they think it's the Sabbath or something? :)
4. The weather - I now appreciate being born and raised in sunny California. A wise choice and 2 thumbs up to our European ancestors who picked up, moved across an ocean, decided the east coast was still too close to their homeland's climate and continued west until they reached the coastline! I become so jealous when I check the weather report and Munich's highs are sometimes Santa Cruz's lows in the evening! With rain! The precipitation never stops here: summer rain, fall rain/fog/mist, winter snow, spring showers. Hot, dry places are so attractive right now, maybe I'll try to plan a trip to Dubai.

Or a trip to houston! =) I always get depressed when our lows are higher than Santa Cruz's highs in the summer, I feel your pain! And I agree, there's no place like home, especially when you're talking weather!
I knew you'd understand Sarah! :)
