Groceries

It's been two months since I've been here in Bern. It's a strange feeling. It feels like so much has been condensed into a short space of time, like six months have been squished into one. Really, my sense of time has been distorted, I can understand why perceptions of space and time is relative, and not just in the scientific sense. Enough time has passed by, that now there are things to reminisce about. Like in the early days of settling down here: buying my first lot of groceries (below). During that week I also taught one of my Polish friend the word 'groceries'. I've never seen anyone get excited over such word before.

Migros & Denner are probably the equivalent to the woolies and food for less in Australia but pretty much I am living off budget range brands no-frills style. So it's not significantly more expensive here but definitely the rustic bread is cheaper than sandwich bread and the rest you just to have to shop around. There isn't really super cheap fruit or veggies though - it's pretty much like living in Sydney in the city. The top compartment of the fridge is mine, as you can see it was pretty packed.

In those days, this was my ultimate quick fix for lunch or dinner. Bread and some vegan patty with salad. Easy Meal.

Vegan penne and meatballs!
