British invention?
I stayed at my friend's house in Liverpool and used the washing machine. He measured detergent with a lid of the bottle, threw the lid into the washing machine directly, then hit the start button.
OMG what happened? Why did he put the lid into the machine? Why didn't he pour detergent into the soap slot??
He said it was normal and so did his flatmates. According to them British started the Industrial Revolution, they know the best way to use machineries, equipments, and materials effectively.
Huh, it is persuasive opinion but.., is it wrong using soap slot and not putting the lid into the machine??
***FYI
I wanted to say, the weird part is, he washed the lid with clothes.

Chess in London
One of my pleasure is playing chess with locals during travel.
I went to London last week and stopped by a park where chess players haunt every afternoon.
When I arrived there were already 10+ locals played blitz and bullet game (5-10 mins fast chess). I believe that I was the first Japanese female chess player who visited there as chess was not popular in Japan. I am good at fast games than long games, so I performed better than they expected and surprised them.
Chess does not matter age, gender, and nationality. We can communicate over the board whether or not we have common language, because chess is universal language.

Regular coffee
There's a Macdonald's on halfway between work and my home so I stop by quite often for coffee. Usually I use a digital menu board, but one morning I ordered at the counter as there were no other customers.
I ordered a regular coffee, which I expected a black coffee. Because I drink only black and regular coffee means black coffee in my country.
Unexpectedly, I was served a coffee with milk and sugar. I told them that I ordered a regular coffee. But they said "you said regular coffee, eh?"
So apparently "regular" coffee in Canada is coffee with milk and sugar. Since then I have been saying "black coffee please".

Looking for a bike.
It is getting warm and rarely snow in Canada lately. I have been looking for a used bike and found 2 nice bikes on a classified website.
1) Raleigh Royale Road Bike. 10 speed. Refurbished. 80s.
2) Pro Tour Road Bike. 10 speed. Refurbished. The ad owner guarantees to maintain it.
Raleigh has good reputation and history, so I prefer to Pro Tour because I have never heard Pro Tour. But the Pro Tour bike is 20 dollars cheaper, and the owner assures to maintain it. I'm going to use a bike for city ride, there's no hill, no off road, and no stone pavements. Any suggestions?
