Well I guess its time for another post, seeing as its been more than four months since my last one...lazy bugger. I can only remember stuff that happened over the last few weeks so anything important that happened before them I apologise to - I may remember you some day.
So the major thing that happened recently was my first trip to America - the land of plenty. I went there with not a few pre-conceptions and left quite dissapointed that they were mostly wrong. I really did enjoy myself over there, and could see myself emmigrating one day. So, obligatory list time:
Stuff that ruled:
Huge meals at restuarants
Everything is sooo cheap
Women love the English accent
Snow
You can buy anything you want - the choice is ridiculous
Everything is bigger over there. Example: Burger King here - Double Whopper with cheese. Burger King there - Triple Whopper with cheese.
Wendy Burger's square burgers
Stuff that sucked:
Very poor quality of 'micro-brewery' ales
Tipping everybody for everything
Claim culture - everything has a warning label like "This chocolate bar is only intended for oral consumption"
People are a bit too happy - maybe I'm too used to good old British cynicism and happiness is actually a good thing
OK thats it for now, pictures to follow...
Peace
