Working from a cafe in Lisbon and the waiter just brought me a plate of sardines with my Americano

Apparently the 'digital nomad special' here includes a side of very pungent fish, which was a surprise for my 9 AM Zoom call.

That's just how cafes work in some places. They assume you want the local experience with your coffee, fish and all. Makes you realize how standardized the global coffee shop routine has become.

Maybe it's not that deep, @oscar_gonzalez45, just a different way to do breakfast.

Used to find that weird, but now I get it. Makes the whole coffee run feel less like a chore.

Yeah, "makes you realize how standardized the global coffee shop routine has become" really hits it lol. It's like every city has the same few coffee chains now, so when a place does something different it actually feels real. Kinda makes you wonder what else we've just accepted as the "normal" way to do things without thinking about it.
