Word of the day #5

Toon (geordie english): town

UK

I'm currently visiting friends in the UK. This is the first time in 2 years that I've been in an English speaking country and it feels quite odd. Ignoring the reverse culture shock though, I'm having a great time. Above is a view of the North Sea just outside Newcastle upon Tyne. Beautiful. 

Word of the day #4

Confundido (español): confused

 Are you?

Full service bank

I don't know too many banks that I can walk in to and leave with US dollars, euros, and British pounds. One more benefit of the Africa Mercy Assisted Living Facility!

Word of the day #3

Llegados (español): arrivals

Can you guess where I was recently?

How to tell that you're not in west Africa...

Word of the day #2

Descafeinado (español): decaffeinated

Note that this is not pronounced the same as décaféiné (français). A very important distinction I, once and only once, failed to realize.
