They'd got on a plane, flown to a capital that was new to them and chose to spend the whole day in Western-style bar. May as well have stayed at home.
That does my tits in. So many tourists do it though. I'm all for maybe having one familiar meal while on holiday, because everyone likes that bit of comfort. But there is no point coming to a different country and then doing exactly the same as you would at home. Not only that, but you hear loads of people moaning that not enough people speak English, or that they don't have the same shops. If you want a holiday that is the same as being at home, then book a nice break somewhere else in the UK, there are plenty of lovely places there that are cheap and everyone speaks the same language, buys the same drinks and shops in the same places.
The same can be said of a lot of expats sadly, living here for years and hanging about almost exclusively with other expats and tourists, eating the same food as back home and moaning about almost everything. Don't get me wrong, I will spend the odd night down Nic Nowego chatting in English and reading the papers, and when I cook at home it's mostly british food I eat (that's what I know and have been taught)...but most of the time I eat Polish food and hang about with Polish friends from work...sure it's not easy when everyone is speaking a different language from me, but it is a great way to learn, and it means you don't need to rely on a few people who can translate for you.
