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. <div class="pull-left">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaV8dK4VF3MtRzdCUpbEhckaQquDzFN1S6SAi1vS7JzKY/FC3D9D66-C51B-4A04-A905-0D53D7DB60FA.jpeg</div> <div class="pull-right">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQf2Dcww3BsSgLuh7WtVrtgb6VKwEoqo8zn7NdKmfzh7i/765C17BB-8BC9-4B2A-88A2-7E3275E39411.jpeg</div> <hr> ### 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. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZcJEV3PtJ2Vvb7kFAxDtoq2iJuJ1aCyGRNzfPViLuPvL/26C45227-6FBA-4F25-AB02-101D2CB629D1.jpeg <hr> ## 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? <div class="pull-left">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmX4Yt9aUQ45NdiFp4DiR4NJVC3fZ7StVm8irFeQHAyMRA/image.png</div> <div class="pull-right">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPcLsXiKiEaw2RkRosLjg8jXdxKc7cnAtTWXaCsukiK4Z/image.png</div> <hr> https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVNq7emZzh2LvPoX87AnaGaNitAKuyCwxeHgJDqNi7fFJ/DB8F7B54-6751-4EA6-8704-93F2120590DC.jpeg <hr> ## 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.*** <div class="pull-left">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZLEMPUrrUKCKCfwcdmAKixTXBoT6SCLabNapMWcduGkK/image.png</div> <div class="pull-left">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXfLtradRtysLb5VZcwG5DhoFCoKvGEviejLidPJ4cF82/image.png</div> <hr> <div class="pull-left">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPGB1uziNWXZ6DYDLnP3Hjr94ji4NjSZtdYiwY4XzsGCR/09261F48-2D1A-48B1-B16F-7B0B276EC6C9.jpeg</div> <div class="pull-left">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmU73YTDXpekozGP7usT4Ngsiz41nvZPgvmnZfW8qWt8LN/64857FF1-DF6A-4E2A-8859-F48F92B5EF08.jpeg</div> <hr> <div class="pull-right">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWbjFWQ54oWa9yKNoTjduUdxVnffTKMC7Vn1F1QptsiRb/image.png</div> ## 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. <hr> <div class="pull-right">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdqZJwoMhg8C45NBZ58qAxHr7vziWT4AkFdP3ycacqDUY/image.png</div> <div class="pull-left">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZwTe5UCXKCZgrRjEWbBJ3eYWr5gfPLH5AmieeQWxwjHm/image.png</div> <hr> ### <center>Thanks for reading, upvoting, and commenting! </center> ### Love always, https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUJk9j6kWpvaq8etXRXbs7sKu9aqzrudeAUUaWXLu5kgR/hoschitrooper.gif [//]:# (!steemitworldmap 51.512191 lat -0.090990 long France and London d3scr)

Lol guess that's how you measure a decent space...by spotting a Brazilian.
