Giant beers and tiny coffees. Terri and I went to eat out for the first time, and I ordered a Stella for about $5-$6 USD. About the same price at a restaurant in Chicago. When the guy brought it out, it was the size of my head. Terri was pretty amused by the whole thing. I think I’m going to like this country. I feel like I fit in pretty well in a country where it’s ok to go to an upscale restaurant and order yourself a 40. Admittedly, it’s not wrapped in a paper bag, and you don’t drink directly out of the bottle while sitting on a curb. When we stopped by a supermarket later, I found out you can buy the same size Stella bottle for about $1.30 USD. Now I realize that I am gonna really like this country.
Now the coffee is something else I need to get used to. I remember from when I was in India, other countries like smaller coffees. I like that, because I get to pretend I’m a giant robot. Here, however, the coffees are tiny AND super strong. Terri had her first attempt at making coffee the other day, and it was like motor oil. I had a full cup and sprinted all the way to work like Ussain Bolt. We have since figured out how to make coffee at the strength that we have been accustomed to.
