Things I miss from Portland

This is the complement to previous post.

• Great library system
• mini cooper 
• drinking coffee on the way to work (can't do that on a bike)
• high speed internet (available here but I don;t have it)
• pizza (sure we have it but it isn't Handsome pizza, Apizza Scholls, Kens Pizza...)
• drinking and driving (okay that sounds stupid, but in Ireland you don't drink and drive (not even 1 drink usually) so not as easy to go out for a drink with pals unless you are walking)
• friends and family (it would be a bit rude to not put that in the list)
• beer (how can one not miss good beer, good variety, cheaper than here)
• lots of playgrounds (they have good ones here but they are few and far between. In portland they are everywhere)

From the US

• package tracking (Fedex, USPS,UPS all easy to track. In Ireland you pretty much get a week when things will get delivered and other than that you have no idea where package is...)
• trader joes (not a portland only thing...)
