I am a foreigner in a foreign land

This post is somewhat prompted by recent Euro parliament elections. There was a lot of talk about UKIP in the media before elections and I had a very pleasant encounter with a UKIP supporter too. A large percentage of the British population can’t stand foreigners. It’s all over the media and sometimes the way you’re treated changes as soon as they  spot your...

A cup of joe

I always enjoy coffee in Spain & Portugal, much more than form any coffee shops in UK (except one in Edinburgh, that had really good coffee, if I remembered the name, I would leave some good feedback for them). It is so cheap yet so nice and I never knew how they manage  to do it without espresso machine. Well, it seems they...

The rest of my long weekend in Spain

Continuing from my last post After the wedding, we went to a fiesta that was held in Santo Domingo.  There were a lot of people as you can see, later in the evening we went to a concert, but we weren't very keen on that type of music.  The next morning we took the first bus to Madrid.  Our hotel was situated right...

Nirvana - Where did you sleep last night  My SO has been listening to this song non-stop the whole week. It grew on me too. It has an interesting story, which I wasn't aware of: "In the Pines", also known as "Black Girl" and "Where Did You Sleep Last Night", is a traditional American folk song which dates back to at least the...

I like DK Eyewitness guides, I have a small collection of them, I have used other guides but I didn't like their format as much as DK Eyewitness. I bought this...

May the Fourth be with you

We walked further till we reached Hollywell and had lunch there. We had tomato & mozarella paninis. Why is it...

I am a foreigner in a foreign land

You experience cultural differences everyday and often you're viewed as a bit weird because you do things a bit differently. I will share my own experience which is obviously very subjective, influence by my own cultural background and it might be a very different experience from...
