When we travel abroad we will often come up against the language barrier, and this can be really frustrating when we need to communicate. It would be so much easier if we all spoke the same language wouldn’t it? We could still have our own cultures with their unique customs, but we would be able to understand one another!
However, some things are universal… You can travel to virtually any place in the world and one of the drinks of choice will be coffee. Even though we have our differences in our beliefs and opinions, it would seem that most of us can agree on certain things!
We have been using coffee beans to make our drinks for thousands of years and most countries will have their own special recipes. There may be a few differences in how each country roasts their beans, but the end result is always the same; a carefully prepared and tasty brew!
So, if you are ever abroad and feeling a little lonely because of the language barrier, remember this; we may all have our differences, but we are all united by coffee!
When I was over in Turkey a couple of years ago, I sampled quite a bit of their coffee. Compared to ours it’s like rocket fuel!!
Mind you, you do begin to get used to it after a few weeks. Not sure if I could drink it all the time though…
Nice post.
It’s just a shame that we can’t all have more in common than a hot drink…
Maybe coffee can help us all to realise that we aren’t so different from one another after all!
everyone in this world now about coffee, and nice to read this article.
