Europe Trip: Can you spot the Brazilian?
https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTxM3QLpHHNKu7tWs1qfm93CcDCTtaT2UKhaqfHFMVy21/image.png

## I made up a game. 

<div class="pull-right">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWikohxjz8DzPLM4mYCjyEE7TtuUv7gAGBJfA9MrjEJgs/image.png</div>

During the World Cup, someone mentioned to me that you can always spot a Brazilian flag at a soccer/football game. 

Regardless of which team is playing, regardless of which country is playing, someone somewhere will have a Brazilian flag hanging. 

More so, you can usually always spot one at any major event. 

***Is it true, though? Can you really always sport one?***  

Would it be challenging to find if I started to look or would it just pop out at me? Well, it only took me finding the first one. The first Brazilian flag, I spotted was in Vance, France. In a very cute tea shop where I also found my mug. From then on, it the Brazilian flag just popped out everywhere I went.

### Remember, that cool pub I went to?
> They didn't have any Brazilian flags, but they did have money from around the world. Of course, I spotted the Brazilian currency called real.

## No more flags in France, but London had a few...
I didn't find anymore in France and even forgot I was playing this game. Until I arrived in London. Can you spot them in the pictures below?

## Portugal is close, but Brazil isn't. Why so many flags?
As I mentioned, in my post called, [London with stix](https://steemit.com/travel/@kubbyelizabeth/london-with-stix) I was shocked by how many Brazilians were in London. Mind you, Portugal and Brazil both speak Portuguese. However, they sound and pronounce words very differently. Everyone I either met or heard spoke Portuguese from Brazil, why is that? What were they doing in France and London? 

I don't know how many Brazilians live in Europe or what brought them there. To them, it wasn't odd or out of place to be there. Maybe I just need to travel more to see that people from around the world live around the world. Here I thought I was the only one in a melting pot state. The flag game ended once I left the city of London and went Kidderminster. 

## Perhaps it was time for a new game? 

<div class="pull-right">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQme3Wyzt2UtsDAaQ46BxdfFiVWFu1E2E4EBWeAgWVjAmbR/image.png</div>

In London, pants mean underwear like panties. instead, they refer to pants as trousers. I remember a funny post, @gmuxx wrote about [What to expect when traveling to the US](https://steemit.com/travel/@gmuxx/what-to-expect-in-america). There was another one he wrote about our gasoline or petrol being gas. 

> It never dawned on me that we shorten our the world and therefore change its entire meaning. 

With this newfound realization, I was laughing out loud while reading his post. I just spent thirty minutes on his blog searching for the post and couldn't find it. I also noticed how many posts I've missed. ***Sorry!*** If you know which post I am referring to, please post it in the comments. That one needs to be saved. 

> So, this new game.

Can you spot the English? Doesn't work as well, but did you know cigarettes in London are called fags? Stix mentioned it to me, pointed out a sign, and said now you know.

> If anyone asks you for a fag, they mean cigs. 

Also, some people refer to fried potatoes cut in a rectangular shape as french fries. The French do not, nor do the English. French fries to the French are potatoes. in the USA as Muxxy mentioned in his post, ***crisps are chips, chips are fries. Doughnuts are donuts and jam is jelly.***

## Language difference and food quantity. 
> Apparently it is common knowledge that Americans overeat.


It's true, we eat so much so often and fried. I thought I was going to be hunger in Europe, but the portions are pretty reasonable. I was shocked to see the coffee cup size at restaurants and grocery stores. They have completely misunderstood the large and size portions. 

* Pizza was a normal large size
* Pasta was a normal medium size
* Coffee was as expected, but I still wish they gave me more! 

* My favorite meal in France were these veggie sandwiches. The ice vanilla coffee was delicious too. 

I did expect the food to be different, smaller portions, but I thought it would have more flavor. Enough about food and strange sights, when in France make sure to see the castle and buy a hat from a hat shop.
