After a month in Wales, I feel like my life has changed and I have to write down a few points that reflect this change. It might be a warning for you or invitation to come here and visit me, as you wish.
1 BBC Weather.com is one of my favourite webpages now.
I strongly object to depicting of this superheavy rain with strong wind just as two little drops, but they are mostly right about what the weather is going to be like, so I still check it there.
2 I use an umbrella.
Even though I have always been in my private guerilla war with umbrellas, now we both agreed on truce for these three months. (Though I have a feeling, that umbrellas are not quite sincere. That one of mine is already half broken. They hate me.)
3 There is always a cup of black tea nearby me.
I drink approximately 10 litres of black tea a day. I have no idea, how can I sleep after this amount of caffeine in my body, but it works somehow. Everybody in the office likes to add some milk to it, but I still resist to this trend. What if I liked it, then I would have to walk to fridge and back, just to get some milk for tea!
4 I eat mayonnaise.
In fact, not only I eat mayonnaise, but since I came here, I have probably eaten more mayonnaise than in the rest of my life. I always found mayonnaise really unhealthy, but here, if you just want to grab a sandwich for a lunch, you have to buy something with mayonnaise. Otherwise it is usually pretty plain and disgusting.
5 I do not believe in buses anymore.
They are always late. Or early. Which means you have to come to bus stop at least ten minutes before, to be sure you won’t miss the bus, but mostly those buses come so late, that you end up waiting there for half an hour. Well, buses and weather are probably two worst things here in Swansea, where I live. Confirmed by locals.
