Things that are different in Belgium

I try to make mental notes of things I notice that are different in Belgium than in the U.S. Yesterday I went grocery shopping. There are a lot of small differences in this activity, but after I got home, one thing in particular stood out.

I made a fruit salad for dinner last night. It consisted of strawberries from Spain, kiwis from Greece, seedless grapes from India, and bananas from Columbia. We also had green beans from Egypt. We have truly international meals!

I remember not being able to get things from California when we lived in North Carolina. I think my international fruit salad was pretty cool, even though there was nothing "weird" in it.
