This is so cute. Good things to learn !
You have learned much in your short time. Laughed at the thought of you eating the plastic on the hotdog. Haha, yep, Chiky’s are great when looking for that Oreo substitute. I’d almost forgotten the currency, I’ve got some leftover colones change I wanted to bring back, thanks for the reminder, lol! Didn’t know Justin Beiber was still a thing. I could go on, enjoyed them all!! Thanks for the share!
