Hey looks like she will have to do them herself. Sounds like I just saved $20 bucks a month Clapping

Guess she just have to open her own nail salon. Nail salons in california can make a ton of cash.

Hi

Loads of nail and beauty places in Ch Ch but never been myself so cannot comment on the prices. If it is really truly important, let me know and I will nose about... Lower NZ wages, taxes and costs tend to mean that most personal services are slightly cheaper than in the UK.

We have had to experiment with many brands to find ones that are to our taste but have succeeded in the end. Ketchup and Mayo are rather brand-specific in their texture and flavour so I guess you will just have to buy a few and see.

Pizza is not hard to come by and I think is OK although the range of toppings is limited compared with the UK. The big pizza house franchises have lots of outlets though so you should be able to get your favourite...

Hey great to hear, the," truly important" was an attempt at humor. I suppose it is probably the little things that we expect to miss.

Including good mexican food, and America's best hambuger from IN and OUT. A southern california mecca.

Thanks for the post justin
