Wow. This is cheering me up. So true about the tea. I never realised until I came back that it is so much hotter here, water boiling at a diff. temp at altitude and all.

Always miss them when I'm away.

You don't have to be abroad for too long before you realise that the rest of the world are on a different planet!
