Already getting tired of hearing 'wordly wise' snobs putting down people for taking a stash of their favourite teabags.
I've news for you - when you get there, you're still just another gringo. You're still ordering off the tourist menu, just like everyone else. As I see it, it's my holiday, and I'll take what I want.
The British-Indian couple next to me in Corfu a few years ago brought an entire spice rack and hardly ate out at all. And one evening they came round to raid my 'kitchenette' for kit and proceeded to lay on a slap-up feast for a load of us which was the first curry our Greek hosts had ever tried. Can't knock that. And in case you're wondering, Mythos goes great with a curry.

At least in comes in decent sized bottles.

I thought my story was dull,
but "a couple went self-catering" is giving me some serious competition.

Damn. I could have claimed that as a hidden talent,
if only I'd been a few hours earlier.

dunno ... how long does it normally take somebody to start a new thread weeping about what's been said by the big bullies in another thread?

You've made a terrible error
