I honestly dunno.
We have mutual acquaintances who assure me that although he's an infantile dweeb he's not a complete retard. Surely our favourite rasta pirate doesn't take teabags on fucking aeroplanes.

I'm not talking about jetting to Spain for a week, you spaz
When I went to work in South America, did I take teabags on the fucking aeroplane? You bet I did. It was either that or spend a year without a decent cup of tea.

On a 'gip yah' were you?

No, I was working
Living in South America and earning US dollars is a great combination if you want to build up some cash

I like how the general 'take cheap teabags and marmite wherever' rule
has rapidly become a specific instance of not being able to buy decent tea when a wealthy business chap in south america. Even though it's piss easy to buy proper tea almost anywhere there if you've got dollars and don't mind a hefty mark up.

I find it morally repugnant
All proper tea is theft after all

tell you what though
I know they've got a history of commies in Latin America but they drink a fucking awful indigenous non-tea as well. Coincidence? Probably. It's actually worse than that rooibos pizzle.
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Thu 24 Apr 2014, 16:48, closed)

Never been.
I have only started travelling abroad relatively recently and Latin America is one of the places i want to visit.

don't drink the 'tea'
or ... you know ... get carjacked or kidnapped and buttraped by drug barons

but mostly don't drink the 'tea'
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Thu 24 Apr 2014, 17:23, closed)

Should you find yourself there, try mate
Unlike the aforementioned rooibos which is pointless, horrible stuff, mate contains quite high levels of caffeine and is quite a pleasant way of socialising with the locals.
( emvee cruor deo cruoris, Thu 24 Apr 2014, 17:35, closed)

that's the stuff
I suppose it'd be almost tolerable to the sort of pleb who drinks tea dust boiled in a paper bag.

we're glossing over the marmite for a bit, yeah?
prolly for the best

Oh noes I sometimes like Marmite on toast
so I put a little jar in my suitcase when spending extended periods abroad...what a total catastrophe my life must be.

You utter spastic.

I'm not judging you.
If you're happy admitting to being a hilarious stereotype of the engerlish abroad then I'm happy to sneer at you.

Everyone's a winner. Except you and your little suitcase of reassuring home.

I've lived and worked all over the world
In every country I've learnt some of the language, eaten the local cuisine, made friends with the natives and otherwise immersed myself in as much of the culture as possible. However, I drink tea very regularly and eat marmite on toast occasionally, so I prepare myself for those eventualities. You'd have to be some kind of cretin not to.
