Oh, the joys of holidays...

We've just come back from a holiday in Spain. My wife didn't really enjoy it, because everyone could speak English and all the food was like the stuff we eat back at home. She said, "Next time, I want to go somewhere where they eat weird shit and you can't understand a word they fucking say." So I've just booked us a fortnight in Scotland! :doh:

Me, all the timeAustralia's the place to go sort of speak English, (actually believing they are the only country that does) but: .. get every vowel sound wrong, .. shorten almost every word to maximum 2 syllables, .. weird names for almost every food ... so you never know what you might get .... (can't cook to save themselves - no sense of taste anyway) and even freelance IT geeks wear 3 piece suits (with tie) and will sit outside in 100 plus degrees (without taking their jacket off) eating "koooz koooz on frinch brid stecks with a skem [melk] frappa[chinno]" for lunch.

The 'goulash' made in the UK is exceptionally weird shít! Gulyás is a soup and there as many varieties as there are cooks!

That gave me a serious craving for goulash soup, and I had to go out and get me some for lunch. I'm sure that the stuff we get here in Sweden doesn't resemble the real thing either, but it's quite good actually.. ;)

They do not understand even Italian and they eat cheese with live worms inside (the infamous "Casu Marzu").

My uncle, who is sardinian, tried several times to convince me to eat it, and is a big fan of that chees. Of course he had three surgeries for ulcer, but the things are surely unrelated :doh:

Me, all the timeJust came back from a trip to Edinburgh. You will love it. Try the haggis, nips, and tatties. Great stuff. Here in the States, restaurants put way too much salt on everything, so it was a very pleasant surprise to have a meal without having to drink gallons of water. Most of the people I met there spoke English fairly well until the whisky started flowing, but after a few shots, I had no problems understanding the conversations. Well, mainly because the conversations were more grunts and belly laughs at that point. :-D :laugh:
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others. Same thing when you are stupid.

... and gestural communications I assume. Raising an empty glass is a universal "I'm not drunk enough yet" gesture afterall. :-\ :-\ :-\
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

So true! :-D Ah, good times. Can't wait to get back there in the Spring. I feel like a yuuuge weight lifted from my shoulders when I'm there, but it returns once I arrive back in the States. :((

Oooh, I've had haggis before. Can't say that I liked it, but I managed to eat it without puking... (pretty proud of that, actually) :~ Strangest thing I've seen in Scotland, though: Haggis flavoured Potato Chips (Crisps in UK English) - Think that I might actually prefer Cajun Squirrel chips[^] over that...

Then I suggest you don't book a trip to Iceland, their national dish Hákarl[^] would keep you from eating much longer than that.

You're right, I'd never eat that! Not Lutefisk[^] either. But I'm not a native either, so maybe that explains it... X|
