It wasn't the parts that were defective, it was the design and installation by European engineers

Is weird. Everything's really expensive. Plus, none of the restaurants actually want you to eat there. They don't have menus, and when you come in they don't serve you for fifteen minutes, even after you call out to them. Instead, the owner sits in the back smoking with his preternaturally young wife who you mistakenly refer to as his daughter, causing much embarassment.Speaking of Erith:

Someone from Canada (national dish: poutine on seal flippers, with a side of beaver in fish sauce) lecturing Eurocoms on food ?
That's a great slowburner.
KrazyHorse's irony:
Poutine: by its appearance, you'll think you've already eaten it.
I didn't know it was basically french fries covered in cheese curds and gravy until I wiki'd it.
It also made me think of good ol' Vladimir, who so wants to be part of Euroland, so long as they all follow his benevolent Russkie leadership.B♭3Comment

I remember when the first McDonald's opened in Moscow.
The locals were shocked by its cleanliness. What does that say about their other restaurants?

Yesterday (or the day before

That was a little bit surprising.BlahComment

I'd be lost. I hardly carry cash any more because everybody takes credit card nowadays in the good 'ole US of A.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment
