Brits abroad, what reminds you of home in your new country?

Vietnam chiming in! Some of the import shops here in VN stock British brands or things I bought in the UK, including Yorkshire tea and Walkers shortbreads. They’re expensive but I do sometimes buy them for a treat. Very occasionally you’ll meet UK tourists who are visiting the city I’m in. When we do find each other it’s almost automatic that we’ll have a big conversation about all sorts of things ranging from football to where we’re from or some news thing happening back in the UK. There’s a British restaurant here that is honestly one of the best I’ve seen in a foreign country. It does fish and chips, sausage and mash, pork pie and all the other UK foods you expect and where possible the owner has sourced UK brands of things, including Robinsons fruit squash, Yorkshire Tea, even things like Sarson’s vinegar or Tate and Lyle sugar. The owner is also himself a Brit. For some weird reason cricket is a thing here, set up initially by a British expat who still runs the whole thing. There’s both teams for expats (which attracts not just British but also South African, Aussie, NZ and Indian teams) and local grassroots teams. Certainly for TEFL here a good chunk of teachers are themselves British which means there’s a decent amount of UK expats, including some who have been here a decade or more.
