WTF? Have things really become so expensive in the US? Following will cost less then £10 (obviously including tax) in the UK and will feed the family for 2 days. 500 g split peas, 1 celeriac, 2 leeks, 4 carrots, 4 potatoes, 2 stock cubes, 4 liter water.

Rusland en USA zijn al buurlanden. Alaska was ooit Rusland. Als je naar een kaart kijkt moet je realiseren dat het een kaart een vertekend beeld van de globe is...
