I love iced coffee! Liz you look beautiful and very relaxed in your pictures! It's been a great treat for me to read your posts, thanks for letting me live vicariously through you.

Cadbury is the big chocolate producer here (which makes sense since it's a UK company). They do import chocolate from other places, too, but it's always really expensive. There are some good local chocolatiers as well -- Haigh's is a big one. Of course there are McDonalds all over the world! Bhutan is the only place we've been without on. There are also all the other US chains here -- Burger King is called Hungry Jacks here, but has the exact same logo. Target is here, too, as is Kmart, but with *slightly* different logos.

What is a favorite chocolate candy bar among the Aussies and where does it come from? While you two have been in Australia have you see a McDonald's Hamburger outlet? I'm just guessing that McDonald's has left its "charcoal footprint" nearly everywhere in the world - but maybe not. What have you seen in the form of Yankee businesses down under?
