Ah right: a land of lattés
For one reason or the other, my new uni is obsessed with Macs, which naturally I think is a little strange for a maths school unless you want really pretty graphs, of course.
When I had lunch a month ago with a couple of the PhD students and an academic they spoke about coffee and the various cafés that serve good coffee in the greater uni area - a conversation of which I contributed little to - for about 20 minutes. Yesterday I told a PhD student, much to her dismay, that I didn't really drink coffee (though I do love my Ice Breaks ;). She responded with, 'How can you not drink coffee!'
I replied, 'Quite easily when you come from a place with 35-degree heat and 90% humidity.' Now my mate has discovered and directed me, most definitely on UQ worktime, to this little cartoon.
Interesting. Now where's my beret?

You don't need cold weather to enjoy coffee. There's always the ice-blended variety. ;)
Coffee is evil. Caffeine is evil. It's a drug - a drug that I'm slowly getting hook on as Whitty continually makes me a cup every morning.
I'm not too keen on the taste so I load my coffee up with sugar, which makes it even less healthy.
I have enough health problems to deal with in regard to beer consumption. I really don't need this...
Also, I blame the Italians, Greeks, Vietnamese and the Irish (they're always responsible) for the coffee culture in Melbourne. Whatever happen to Australia being a land of tea drinkers?
I going to make a strong effort to remain compleletly ignorant of all coffee-related terms and names. That'll fix those Melburnians.
Coffee is teh devil....Jan, you won't tempt me!
