Things I would buy if I could go shopping in the USA right now (in no particular order):

Cholula
Corn tortillas
jalapenos
Natural Instincts haircolor in Roasted Chestnut
Arm and Hammer toothpaste
Reynolds release foil
a cast iron skillet
a new copy of the Fannie Farmer cookbook (mine is now officially in 2 pieces and missing pages)
children's medicine (the stuff here is horrible tasting)
sunscreen with bug repellant (I have no idea what brands even make that in The States...)


Things I wish I had but just haven't had the energy and/or time to make them happen:

an iPhone fully loaded with (lots of hip hop) music
a book club to join
time to read the South China Morning Post newspaper a few times a week (I feel like I am living under a rock most of the time)


Notes:

Starbucks is no good here. Pacific Coffee is way better.
