- People who drive slowly in the 'fast' lane of freeway really bug me. To the point of questioning their ancestry - not only regarding legitimacy, but also species.
- Ditto caravans on highways.
- The Amazing Race episode ran through Prague this week. I will be there in a couple of weeks. Very scenic, and very cool. Very very much looking forward to the upcoming European Christmas adventure as well. Photos will follow in due course.
- Wearing shorts on planes is definitely the way to go. Partly because it's more comfortable, partly because the blankets on long flights are plenty warm enough anyway, partly because it saves an extra pair of clean jeans for one's destination, and partly because shorts are just generally the ultimate form of clothing.
- Skype is the best thing ever, and I would promise to name my first-born child after it if it wouldn't lead to endless bullying at school...
- Salvation Army brass bands playing Christmas carols will always make me stop and listen. I love a brass band, and I love a Christmas carol or two, so the combination is magic. Keep up the good work, fellas.
- The Euro is one of the best ideas Europe has ever had. Unfortunately, of the 5 countries I will be visiting there on my next trip, only one actually uses Euros. Money-changers, here we come...

I would agree with you on the shorts. But for me, I think it makes the place feel less confining and cramped. BUT very rarely have I been able to do this because usually I'm going from cold place to warm or warm place to cold.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you getting TAR so late!?!? The Philippines gets theirs at the same time we do with a rebroadcast later that evening. You should protest.
I'm also going from warm to cold (or vice versa) almost every time - but I either carry a pair of jeans in my bag to stop my knees freezing off upon arrival, or change into shorts in the airport before getting on the plane...
ReplyDeleteAnd Australia gets most decent TV shows late. Not always a year behind now, like it always used to be, because the networks have figured out that people either download things or buy dvds off Amazon if they delay them that much - but we're still a bit behind the times.
