1) You expend vast amounts of energy restraining yourself from throwing the small items you would typically launch at Xss when no one is looking. This is usually thin plastic cups, sweets, pens, etc
2) Your accommodation has its own private infinity pool. This was a free upgrade and worth every penny. A villa with free room service, pool, swinging sofa, kitchen and unlimited golf buggy rides anywhere. Oh and free afternoon Tea at the cafe everyday.
3) You no longer feel like people will ask you politely to leave the nice hotel you stay in as you don't look the part (are wrinkles not in fashion?) Just let them try with Glastonbury around!
4) You don't have to carry your backpack an inch. It magically moves itself. Or more likely bellhops carry it to the room before i get there.
5) All rooms have TV's with English movies on!
6) You make a list of British TV shows you want to watch after discussing Christmas and new TV shows that are out. Is it wrong to want to watch Upstairs Downstairs?
Increasingly this situation is making us miss home and romanticise the cold weather and dark nights. But then i remember certain times when i am standing on a dark council estate, untying my bike in the rain wondering how i am going to get to my next destination and not be soaking wet with frost enthused rain water skipped up my back?
However, our next stop is the Thai Zoo, where we get to pretend to be zoo keepers and do nothing more productive than pay to feed and clean up after wild animals we are not allowed to touch. For some reason we thought this would be a laugh. I guess not everyone gets to meet the Thai zoo keeper version of themselves.
