We don't even have an address (nor do the dwellers of Dubai)
I think you need to know the delivery guy so he can know where you live
Btw I'm jealous
What I didn't understand was the website thing

My ex is from Guatemala. When you mail things to people outside of large cities, you cross your fingers and hope the mailman knows someone who knows them. The have no addresses. They don't even have street names.
Here in the US you can order pizza online from the website of many pizza places.

Pretty much the same in Europe. Makes life easy for the beer guzzling lazy fat couch potato.

Yeah, the wage system here is super shocking compared to Oz, especially when contrasted with just how friendly and pleasant the people in those positions are. I guess it's kinda enforced so they can survive, but in Australia you get a much more relaxed, human kind of service because their income isn't tied to how perfect and glossy they can be.
The food is way better in the US, though.

Uhm, come again. Your beer alone could land you in jail in Europe. Serious crime against gastronomy.

You might be the first non-American who has ever said that to me. Haha.

Well where I am from even the tiniest dirt roads have street names and house numbers.

wish that were true everywhere I've lived. Also, alleys seem important around here. At least mine is. But alleys don't have names (Cleveland Street Alley) or numbers (Alley 2608).

I have really trashy taste in food sometimes, and an immense sweet tooth. But I can't buy peanut butter M&Ms in Australia, or Reese's Puffs cereal, so America wins.

You know, I really watched a scary picture these last couple of days. People standing in an endless line because the first dunkin donuts opened in town. Makes you really doubt human sanity.
