One of the things I really missed in Norway was good grocery stores. I heard rumours that there were some - but as with everything else in Norway, it was out in absolute nowhere. No car meant no shopping. (And if you would actually find one, there was no way you could afford anything anyway.) When visiting Tim in Cambridge/Ely/Catford going to Sainsbury's or Tesco was one of the highlights!
I am still just as excited going to the grocery store as I was back then. I just love the selection of food; all the exotic products, the weird local dishes, the scary looking pre-fab stuff. And the fact that you can buy alcohol in a normal store thrills the Lutheran Swede in me.
