Living in a metric world

One thing that has surprised me about living in Europe is the metric system. Yes, I knew metric was the norm and "500 meters down the road" is hard for me to relate to, but I did not think a dozen eggs would be affected. Eggs are sold in groups of 10. No "baker's dozen". You also find so much more in groups of 5 instead of 6. This is nice for a family of 5 as it divides perfectly (fewer leftovers or more than one child wanting the 1 remaining cookie, bread, etc. We bought packages of 5 donuts at the store. Perfect count for us.
