It has become apparent that the usual Sunday blog day is no more and it is now in fact ‘hoping for Monday, most likely Tuesday but more often than not Wednesday blog day’. I blame this shift in blog day on the time difference between here and the USA and my lack of adjustment to said time difference. Speaking of adjustments, these past few weeks I have been trying to adjust to life in the Southern part of the world of good coffee, windy weather and expensive movies.
It has come to my attention the countless differences between how we go about our day to day business when compared to our American brothers and sisters. The most notable differences that are taking some time to adjust to include:
1. Good coffee (and no option for a low-fat mocha frappuccino double shot espresso with whip, and as such, no more mind boggling looks when I ask for just my plain jane cappuccino)
2. Expensive movie tickets (a session at the cinema in the US will set you back just $8 plus a free refill of a large popcorn!)
3. Tomato sauce…not ketchup
4. Driving on the left...I still have the odd mind blank which is a little concerning
5. Exy bananas
6. Exy petrol (gas)
6. No more guaranteed blue sky, no wind days of weather
7. No more late morning starts to training…it’s back to bootcamp and 5am starts
8. Unlimited supplies of meat pies, REAL coke, TimTams, Vegemite, Cadbuy chocolate and roast dinners
9. No more free Wifi in practically all public places
10. Actually being able to know how far I have ridden in km rather than miles
11. And finally no more 1kg Chipotle Burritos (which is by far taking the hardest to adjust to life without)
