Re: Any fans of Iceland store?

Yes, that's actually probably right. Maybe not regarding peanut allergies, as I still believe these are caused by mostly GMO (and other similar types) foods that are more popular in the US than in...

Re: Any fans of Iceland store?

Nope, not really. It's all in the food and the culture, it's absolutely not about the awareness. We don't have about 70% of the food you guys have. There's also like 6 McDonals and 1 KFC in the whole...

Re: Cash out US 401K before I leave?

Hi,

Sorry for this being off-topic, but I was just curious if there's any special reason you're leaving you USA? Did you not enjoy your stay here, or is it something else?

Thanks.

Well, I'm kind of poor right now myself here in LA, and I was never really bothered by 'low quality'. It always tasted good to me, especially those chicken breasts (with water in them) -- low cal,...

Re: Registering a vehicle in CA

Thanks for that, this was very helpful. It got me thinking then maybe I should instead rent a car and get a CA driver's license first.

Re: Anyone got anything good to say about the US medical system?
