Eh, yeah, I guess that's true. I'd never even had most of this stuff before I got here! It was, uh, kinda the middle of nowhere, where I used to live. Not a ton of foreign restaurants, or.....restaurants...........

Small town, huh? Bet the city was something of a culture shock. [with a sigh, he adds;] Both the glamourous side and the not-so-glamourous parts.
