An English Influence

5 April 2016
After 3 weeks, my partner-in-crime, aka flatmate, aka bed buddy, aka housewife, is gone. Emily and I spent three weeks together in my Bangkok apartment, and although we were in Thailand, I may be going home with more british traditions than thai. Here are just a few of the things I learned from this not-so-basic brit :)
-it's a flat, not an apartment
-it's a lift, not an elevator
-it's a bloody shame, not a problem
-it's lovely, not nice
-it's a dummy, not a pacifier
-it's a bonnet, not a hood
-it's a boot, not a trunk
-it's a bin, not a garbage
-they're crisps, not chips
-they're chips, not fries
-they're biscuits, not cookies
-those are trousers you're wearing, not pants
-she's your mum, not your mom
-and most importantly, tea is made in a kettle, not a pot
