Ann Arbor, Cultural Paradise
I think I take growing up in Ann Arbor for granted. Just down the street from me, we have the Thai/Laotian grocery, the Indian grocery, and the Middle Eastern grocery. Not to mention the Korean/Greek restaurant across the street. Heh heh.
Christianna and Nasko were saying how the US doesn't have real feta and I said "I bet they do in Ann Arbor," which is what I say about any exotic foodstuff you can't find in the Albion area. Nutella? Orangina? Cornichons? Raclette cheese? Dal? Tapenade? Kriek? I know where you can get them. I should remember how lucky I am to have grown up surrounded by all of this cultural diversity and exotic food and by all of the hippie-yuppie Ann-Arborites who support places like Zingerman's, Merchant of Vino, and Big Ten. Thank you, Ann Arbor.
Zingerman's can't quite do a real French baguette, though. I don't know what it is.
(Of course, maybe I'm just being dumb and you can find this stuff anywhere but Albion. I've only lived in three cities in my life: Ann Arbor, Albion, and Grenoble. I should get out more.)
