It has been only a week since I arrived in Wales. It is certainly not enough for me to say I know the country perfectly, but for sure I have found here some things I fancy.
So far, these are the best three things I came across here in Wales:
1. Language
Though only about 20 per cent of people in Wales can actually speak Welsh language, you can see street signs in both Welsh and English everywhere. For example, in my opinion, just seeing the expression for ashtray is priceless:
2. Palm trees
At this point I have to admit, that I suffer from the lack of knowledge about the vegetation in the world, because I had no idea there are palm trees in Wales. But they are in every street here and this fact leads to my utter happiness. And now they are also in approximately 50 per cent of pictures I have taken here.
3. Friendly people
A short example: After I had bought some salad with shrimps and mayonnaise in Tesco yesterday, a very nice lady at the counter told me that I shouldn´t put the box into my bag, because it leaks and the mayo smells terribly inside the bag afterwards. Very nice advice. Too bad I had already known that, as at that time I had one smelly bag back at home, because I had bought the same box of salad the day before. But the point is, people here are lovely and helpful.
...
Other delightful things hopefully coming soon! :)
