I seldom buy coffee at a shop in the USA (pronounced in class like ooh sah - to rhyme with moose -ah), but I knew I didn't want a teeny-tiny cup
like the scene from Muppets Most Wanted, in which the Sam, the Bald Eagle has an American cup of coffee and the French Interpol agent has a European cup. |
It turned out I could order a cafe americano, but that means it comes with milk. Oh, well. It also came with free water - so adorable! |
In Castilian the bathroom options were hombre and mujer
and if it had been in Catalan it would have been home and dona,
Interestingly Americanos in America do not come with milk, it is basically espresso with hot water. I like milk so I usually get a latte or cappuccino.
ReplyDeleteI would have panicked if I had seen those sign. There are universal symbols for a reason!
