Green Peas is a big franchise to keep an eye out for.
As for souvenirs for yourself ... well I arrived with one suitcase and a backpack and left with two suitcases and a backpack  |
Similar experience... when I took my wife there in 2009 for our honeymoon, we brought 3 suitcase with us. One of them is actually empty. Not only we filled that up, we had to buy one more large suit case, 2 large size gym bag (large enough to fit football or hockey equipment) and we had boxes that was sent home through EMS...
