I don’t remember seeing anyone have a so-called full English breakfast while I’ve been here, except perhaps for the odd tourist in a café.
There’s a lot of toast going on, but not as much sausage and baked beans.
Restaurants in London aren’t as expensive as I used to think they were.
One of the first things I noticed when I started working here was the shortness of lunch breaks and, more important, how everybody seems happy with having lunch at their desks, in front of their computers, and, most of the times, while working or reading the news.
At first it was a bit strange, now I do it too.
When I go to Portugal, I find it funny that there aren’t these little things floating around in my cup of tea. I guess people get used to the strangest things, right?
I went from being the person that drank the more tea in the office to probably being the one that drinks the least.
While I was working in Faro, in 2 years I guess all the others may have had 10 to 20 cups.
Whereas now, everybody seems happy to get up and make everybody else a steaming hot cup of tea.
I like the fact that nobody assumes I’ll have sugar with it (which I don’t) and it’s funny that the word “tea” is associated with “milk” even if it has nothing to do with it.
