Babbling on and on

It was quite a nice sunny day yesterday over here. So I went for a walk to the closest supermarket, which is about 5 mins drive. My beloved beau gave me direction and we looked at the map online to give me the rough idea of the route that I would take. The route was easy but I took the wrong turn and ended up asking this one girl along the road. The supermarket was just 3 mins walk from where I was, but she sent me to a totally opposite direction!Remembering the map, I knew it wasn't the right way, so I called my beau and asked for the direction again. I found the place with no problem after getting off the phone. He drove to the supermarket to meet me for a breif grocery shopping. Then we head to town for Burger King. (Do you know that Hungry Jack's in Aus is actually Burger King?)Being used to the way it is in Thailand and in the US, I went in and ordered a set menu and asked to substitute the fries with onion rings, normally with a lil additional cost. Speaking with foreign accent and the request I made, the girl at the counter looked at me like I came from a different planet! It was almost like she was thinking to herself, where the hell I got this idea from. This happened after my Starbucks experienced last week, so I kinda accepted it and ordered my sandwich and onion rings separately. I ordered Angus burger, which supposed to be the best of beef available at Burger King, but the meat didn't have any flavor. The normal whopper patty in Thailand has much more taste than the Angus burger here, let alone all the good meat in the US! My bf complained a lot that meat here doesn't have much taste and I never really understood what he meant until yesterday. I guess I have been so spoiled with all the good food we have in Thailand and always take it for granted. >_<A friend of mine called yesterday, she's a British-Chinese, so I told her what happened at Burger King. She said she apologized on behalf British ppl that there was no flexibility in this country! It's almost like there's no choice for people to choose at all. U can only get what's available in front of u and that's it.BTW, if u know anywhere that sells Cheetos in the UK, please tell me! The cheese corn puff by Walkers doesn't have any cheesy taste. :-( We are gonna leave for York later today. It was kind of silly to make a booking before checking the weather. My bf always says that u have to continue living ur life regardless of the weather, otherwise u won't get to do anything at all. So we are going to York, although the forecast said it's gonna rain tomorrow. I am looking forward to visiting York Minster, Castle Howard, The Shambles, and if we are lucky, we'll get to walk the wall of York. Other two things that I am looking forward to are fish and chips and cream tea! My bf got recommendations for the shops that serve the traditional meal and afternoon tea. I'll try to lower my expectation this time!!Better get ready... we are leaving soon. Have a great weekend!
