Tim Hortons
Hot 3
I Just came back from Canada at yesterday, This was really a long journey with 13 hours way by air, two meals a way without any movement on the plane, how come? I wanted running and fighting if someone can be my partner. I still have heavy jetlag till this morning; dizzying and sleepy around my body.
This trip was not too bad actually; I have learned some histories and stories of Canada from local tour guide, here I gona sharing with you one of story Tim hortons who was a famous ice hockey player in Canada, like our country Zhuang Ce Dong PingPang old player, there is nobody here but knows the story. After retirement Tim Hortons opens the coffee shop named by his name, in order to support and charity, each cup of coffee of selling, 10 cents will be donated to the childhood foundation, I was known that his coffee shop is only operated by his own, that means he has never joint venture with other operators, not like Starbuck or McDonald’s everywhere in the world. 2$ per cup, the cost of his coffee is very reasonable, that’s why it is very popular in Canada. If you said double double when you bought the coffee at the shop, they all knows with two sugars and two milks of coffee we were told by tour guide.

- Oh so you have returned from Canada. You must have had a great time there. Oh yeah, those long trans pacific flights are really exhausting. My flights there took 19 hours United Airlines which flew via Tokyo. By the time I got back home I had to jump into bed right away due to jet lag and it is probably the best sleep I ever had, so tired. I always choose the last row of two seats because I can always get up, walk around without disturbing others. I like the meals on board because they have some variety and suits my taste, but my god, such a small portion for 19 hours. I see some people eating instant noodles and wonder if it is because the meals are too small or they prefer noodles.
Yeah, the Hortons are famous for their dark coffee. I have not tried it because I can't take milk (lactose intolerance). Dark coffee without milk would not be nice. Anyway, they are quite famous with their logo.. we always have a fresh pot.

- That must be a happy trip though it was exhausted on the way sitting the plane in a long time. Welcome back and take a rest to recover the time difference back.

- Personally, when I took the plane and had the lame meal. But I am not sure if it would be better in the international flight since I only took the domestic flight.

- International flights are quite different. The passengers are from different countries and have different customs, religion and attitude. The flight attendants are also from different countries depending on which airline you are taking. Japan airlines for example speaks some English but not too fluent and they keep serving green tea every half hour. The meals are hot and nice and you have several choices of food. Sometimes, you would have a baby crying loudly spoiling your sleep The China domestic flight Hainan Airlines serves me biscuit and a box of sweet drink, but it was a short trip so it was OK. Try to save up some money and bring your parents to see a far away country. UK should be a good choice.

- Indeed, it is very cheap $2 per cup, most time I only add milk with no sugar in my coffee, as I don’t wanna gain too much weight, but once I am used to it, I don’t feel taste bitter at all.
