When my roommate went to Europe four years ago, the other three of us basically lambasted her when she returned. After the first week of a multi-month trip, the only place her and her boyfriend ate at were McDonald’s and Hard Rock Cafes. They said Mackers was cheap and they got free soda refills at HRC.
We were all pretty much in disbelief that she’d go all the way to Europe to have Hard Rock Cafe every day.
OK…so now I can totally relate. There’s this place near my guesthouse here in Mumbai that gives free soda refills. I think it’s the first time I’ve had it the whole time I’ve been in Asia. I keep going back and back (OK, three times is really all)…and I don’t know if it’s the food, the fact that it’s literally next door to the guesthouse, or that I get the free refills. But I’m pretty sure it’s the last one.
PS: They’ve got this puzzle on their placemats where you try to come up with as many three-plus letter words as you can from the word “America.” I got nine. How many can you think of???
i’m drunk, and not sure these are all words?
car
came
rim
era
care
area
mace
cram
ace
ire
imac
mice
mire
marc
rime
mear
arm
arc
mare
I suck at word games!
Totally understand about the free refills thing…we only live close to ONE restaurant that has free refills and we go there all the time just for that reason even though the food isn’t really spectacular!
to add to the above list:
rice
ice
cream
crime
ram
ream
race
air
aim
And for the longest word: Camera
Clearly you all are better at word games than I…and I will definitely appreciate the free refills when I return to the states!
