Hahaha, that reminds of me struggling with the spiciness I when came here a year ago :)) I can handle it with ease now... in fact, I love it! :))
You made a good point with price of avocado. Actually not only avocados but most fruits... the prices here are ridiculous... you can have 1 kg of most tropical fruits (limes, pineapples, mangos, bananas) for literally 0.5 to 1 usd. You should really come ;)
I liked spicy then but I love it know. I've had to take breaks from hot sauce before.
