BREAD! There is a little market (gourmetish) around the corner from our apartment that has the most amazing bread. We have managed to get some that was just out of the oven - sooooo gooood. We have been trying different kinds, but keep coming back to the first one we bought. In another week or so, I hope to be able to ask for it by name in Norwegian - I pretty much have gotten it wrong each time I go there.
WALKING EVERYWHERE! I love walking and I love being dependent on my own two legs to get around. You see so much more on foot. The public transportation system here is very good (until it breaks down...) and I enjoy taking that, too. Somehow, I feel more independent when I take public transportation. It is not inexpensive to travel on the subway here, but owning a car would be difficult and even more expensive. We recently rented a car - it was nice to just be able to get out of the city and wander without being limited in time or place, but in town it really isn't necessary.
So, you might figure that all that walking would lead to losing weight - but I am afraid that all the bread eating pretty much balances that out! Oh and the cheese, too....

Somehow, I don't lose weight either from walking! But it improves your heart. So make your own chai (black tea, cinnamon, cardomon, clove) and scones! Who needs to read the newspaper?! When we were in Japan in the mid-90s, we just read the English version of a Japanese newspaper occasionally.
I am an incurable reader. If I don't have something to read at breakfast, I will read the cereal box or anything else. Here, reading the cereal box is a bit more of a challenge than I am up for in the morning. I do kind of miss the comics more than the news, though.
When we are out, I find myself trying to read everything I see, just like I would normally do, but only a few words make it through - more all the time, though.
Oh, I love your picture! I will post more images later....
