Well, so far it's been quite interesting, and I've got another 2 weeks to get through before I head back to blighty.
They, quite literally, are bonkers mate. All the various stereotypes and obsessions you might have heard about are very very real. Not that eccentricities and obsessions are a bad thing... though when they involve paying to sleep in a coffin, being frosty to visitors, working far too much, techno-toilets, 24hour porn vending machine shops and consumerism on an absurd level... you could say that they have room for improvement.
The country is beautiful, or at least what I've seen from the few days good weather we've had, and they definitely are efficient in what they do (me-like-efficient) and the range of food available is dazzling. This is some muvvafuffing gourmet shit I'm talking about here. Though it comes with a hefty price tag, so I have tended towards the cheap and nasty option.
On the plus side, there always seems to be an open wi-fi connection to nick, so hence why I am even bothering to post this blither in the first place!
Mata mata!
