Things I will really miss:
- plain yogurt that isn’t sour
- beaches! Everywhere!
- zumo
- walking all the places because they are near, and mopeds for the rest
- wild parrots!
- having my CET folks be in my time zone (or me in theirs hehe) for once
- thinking to myself “what is that plant?” And when I look it up 9 of 10 times it’s a cooking herb!
- being asked if I want coffee at 10pm with my dessert, because folks of the Mediterranean are apparently my mom’s flavor of adhd and can drink all the caffeine 🥲
Things I will not miss:
- not being able to say even good morning sometimes because I am having a database error and instead of buen día what comes up is eg bon morning sō desu ne 😳
- apparently being an honorary German
- an hilarious plumbing job I would be obliged to fix if it was in my house (the sink in my hotel room has? No? p-trap? And it would take me like an hour to put one in)
- the apparent expectation you will carry all your bags up AND down allllllll the stairs unless you have a baby carriage in which case the husband carries the carriage, Poseidon help you if you set foot in the elevator under the age of 75 seemingly
@kaoudis I was traveling with my brother and we were the only two rubios around for miles. That was enough for them to decide we had "cara de mormon" 😂.
I guess in these places if you get two young gringos, that's the logical conclusion ☺️
@spoltier there were two of you after all! Did you also have the ill fitting suit jackets?! Or was it just the aura of extrañero?
@kaoudis just aura, no suits 😎🤷
@spoltier 👀 please do tell
