Hello 100% English speaking country. It is very nice to see you. Your food: pretty similar to what you find in America. The most exciting thing ever—nope. What we were in the mood for—absolutely.
No more wondering if a soup was a main course or appetizer. No more menus in complete Japanese. Much less asking each other “do you know what this is?” and hearing back “nope, but it is good.”
Don’t get me wrong, we loved Asia, but it was great to be someplace that was familiar…Well, mostly familiar. We are not on a vacation, but a holiday. You don’t watch your step, you mind your step. You don’t get in line, but queue up. After a thank you, it is not you’re welcome or no problem, but no worries (I’ve even been told no drama)…And of course, you drive on the left and the steering wheel is on the right.
