My love for lists runs through my veins, so I am going to start off with a list of all of the pros and cons of my time so far in Bermuda. (The unequal spacing on this list is going to drive me insane! There is no chart or column setting on this GD Blogger site. Something to look into, folks!)
PROS CONS
1. It's Bermuda 1. I just called it "The Mude"
2. Amazing people 2. The customer service leaves everything in the world to be desired
3. The stunning views 3. Cockroaches. I may cry like the a child the next time I see one
4. The food 4. The cost of food
5. The boat trips 5. The rude man who runs the boat trip, and ruined the fun! Jerk.
6. Lunch by the water 6. Half a chicken wrap costs $8.50 (double money-mention, I know!)
7. The amazing beaches 7. That bathing suits exist
8. A break from the "usual" 8. Bermuda is very tiny, I'm warned it'll become too "usual" very soon
9. Missing family 9. Family vacationing in Bermuda!
10. New friends 10. Super, super, super missing Toronto/Vancouver/Windsor friends
11. The sun 11. The sun burning me without asking permission

I WILL EAT THE FACE RIGHT OFF OF THESE ITEMS!
These Aero masterpieces I saw for the first time today in the grocery store. I did not purchase it, because it's very clear to me that I would eat all four of the cups, at once, in a more than mildly unattractive manner.
These were recommended to me by my boss, and boy was she correct in thinking that these are amazing! These chips are delicious. They're like a mix of all-dressed (which I dislike), cheese, ketchup and excellence.
Let's also discuss the logo. The logo is basically identical to the Lay's logo, but clearly does not say "Lay's". Upon further research the world wide web states this:
"Lay's (known as Walkers in the UK and Ireland, Chipsy in Egypt, Poca in Vietnam, Tapauchips in Israel and Sabritas in Mexico)..."
And now, of course being a logo lady (the graphic designers' technical name), I needed to find evidence of said subsidiary brands to compare! Here ye be:
What a fun little brand adventure we just had together!
Now on to the other delicious food here that may be the end of me, well, at least the end of my self-pride and comfortable fitting clothing.
If you don't eat the whole bag at once, I will refer to you as "the best forever", make you a custom crown, and feed these to you like grapes, but not in a weird way.
That gem of a calorie-filled jerk is followed (usually quite literally) by this son-of-a-bitch.
This smelly jerk is just like the one in Canada, only with better branding, a smaller chocolate bar inside (thank god!), and a more compact construction of chocolate, peanuts and caramel. A true delight.
These next temptation-demons were introduced to me by an English chap (so caught up on the lingo!) at work, who is quite an excellent dude. He put two on my desk, and when I asked what they were, he said, "Only the best candy ever. English candy, just eat it, you'll see." So, I ate it immediately. I know you're shocked. Catch your breath from that shock I just gave you, and take a look. Apparently there is only one flavour. Cool. Variety is for losers!

I HAVE BECOME A GENIUS!
Sometimes it's good to start off a heading with a lie, and that is what I have done here.
This is a pretty excellent plan for hanging up a pajama-like thing when I ran out of hanging space, basically in the whole house. Look mom, Girl Guides for 12 years totally paid off!
You all have my permission to be impressed:
And on the serious, read that book if you get a chance. And no, I don't meant the three Bermuda ones that I bought in hopes of knowing a lot about Bermuda when I got here, only to realize that there is no way that a book can teach you the awesomeness that is Bermuda. But, they do have maps, so that's a plus!
CON
THE SALT MELTS
It's so hot and humid here guys, that the salt melts. So...
If you go to a restaurant here and expect the salt to just "shake out" when you shake it, you're going to need to go get dance lessons from the Ying Yang Twins to pull it off, because it's going to take some work! It pains me to know that while the salt sits there beside me, I can't get that damn devil-seasoning onto my food!
