I did Howard… a lot, and I loved em’ too!  But what I REALLY loved from the Fish and Chip places… was the hamburgers!  OMG did they have good hamburgers!  Actually, what I really miss food wise from NZ is the Steak and Oyster, or Steak and Kidney pies.

Yeah David’s article makes sense to me too being bilingual, although my korean is very basic and I could not articulate or express myself as well as in english, but in my dreams, they are equal.  As a very young child my earliest memories of speaking, at age 3 or 4, was in korean with my parents and oldest brother, and to this day, when I dream or think about them, I mentally think in korean, but on the other hand with my younger sister and other siblings and all my friends it would be english, because I always conversed with them in english.  The language I think or relate to go back and forth between Korean and English depending on the person or circumstance.  There seems to be that underlying non-linguistic concept going on there that defaults to one language or the other depending on the person or circumstance I am thinking about.  Yes, an interesting topic indeed.
