It's been a while since I received a care package from the USA. I'm not complaining mind you. The cost to mail a care parcel from the USA has increased to $77 and now there's VAT due on everything. After more than a decade here I'm just not as dependent on getting things from back home. If there's something that I really need I can find in locally or at least on Amazon. Of course there are some things that I can't find. I can't remember the last time that I had Rocky Road ice cream and it's not like I can have ice cream mailed to me.
I was working from home today when the postman buzzed my door. I was surprised because I hadn't ordered anything but here was a box from my sister in California. I had to pay 120 Kč ($5.40) for VAT due which I could pay with my iPhone. It's still two weeks until my birthday so I should wait until then to open up my presents. I do know that there's a box of corn muffin mix and according to the custom's form there should be some socks. I can't wait to see what all she sent me.
