Oooh, was the guest speaker interesting? IP can be a really interesting field of law.
Those tiny differences, in things you expect to be just like home, can actually be more jarring than the huge cultural differences that you're dealing with when you go abroad.
And yeah, it makes sense that different things sell more in different parts of the country, and so the stores stock different items as a result, but it just throws me off.
There are many more good days than bad. If you have to live away from home, this is the job to have while doing it. It's just that some days I feel it acutely, and it's usually when something like the DD or Hallmark thing happens.
