1) Pizza (((((Italian immigration)))))
2) Mexican (((((Mexican immigration)))))
3) Accessibility (and price) of the Internet / Telecommunications more generally
4) Clothing prices (even designer clothes are way cheaper)
5) Book prices (no shipping, I guess)
6) The cost of eating out. Diners are pretty cool...
7) Duck Rabbit, Sierra Nevada, Magic Hat, some pretty good beer :-)
8) International selection of wine (stay away from the nasty australian imported stuff!!!)
9) CENTRAL HEATING!!! And double glazing and all kindsa things like that.

I suppose this says more about me... But in terms of my day to day life... These are things that make a difference.
