Hi!

Can I get Haagen-Daas ice cream in Dubai?
Asking because it's my favorite. I was laid off, and vowed not to buy any until I got a job. Didn't have any for 3 mos. Got a job, and was very excited to go to the grocery store, but, here in NBO, NO Haagen-Daas. Not even in the Nakumatt Karen!!!
So, it's been since Nov, I think...withdrawal symptoms!!!

And....chips.

In the US, if you are in a "British" pub and order chips, you get, well, what we would call chips.

IN Nairobi, "Chips" are french fries.

What are "Chips" in Britain???

Thanx!

When I lived in Nairobi, the locals also called crisps "chips". So what are you doing over there? Are you coming to Dubai to work or for a holiday? Missing the nyama choma badly.

I second BC's comment.......
