That'd kind of make it difficult!

NZ is never fun either  -  dairy in everything it nearly as bad as the
states ;-)  Mind you, having lived there for 15 years (NZ that is) at least
I know which brand of bread I can buy (here there is only one that has dairy
products in my local supermarket).

Most of my travels have been in Europe, where its not too bad in that I can
read the labels - they are usually labelled in multiple languages, one of
which I usually understand and are very comprehensive.  I'm not sure how I
would get on somewhere where I couldn't understand the language, but I guess
people manage!
