Import tax

After sleeping way in this morning, Puppy and I visited the big, iconic Berlin department store, the Ka De We. It was a nice, shiny store with many of the same things one would find in a Bloomingdales back home. On the top floor, however, was a heavenly upscale "food court" that featured several nice mustards, smoked fishes and beautiful-looking salads.

It also had many products from around the world, including Campbell's Soup and Kellogg's cereal. We picked up a box of Pop Tarts that cost approximately nine euros!

Puppy was especially intrigued by a display of Big Red soda, something I'd never seen. Apparently, it's a Texas specialty and probably cost a fortune in the German market.
