I hardly drank coffee when I was in the UK it would always be tea unless we popped to Starbucks at lunchtime.
Since I’ve been in Australia and started work I seem to have developed a slight addiction to coffee! After lunch I feel a lull in energy and a coffee seems to make all the difference, although of course that could be the lunch I just ate (usually soup which is weird when you think its really quite hot outside).
I have even bought these coffee bags which are like tea bags but full of coffee goodness so that I can have a good cup of coffee just how I like it!
There’s a couple of cafe/coffee shops right opposite my office and some days I think just a little mocha would pick me up but I’m trying not to waste money and my mocha is $5.50 and I could buy a whole days worth of good for that if I’m careful and pre plan my meals!
Add to that the fact that the girl in the shop starts making my mocha as soon as I walk in the shop so it’s ready when I pay makes me think I need to cut back!
Has anyone else found that your tastes change when you spend time abroad?
