I supose... I'm sure I will get it eventually, even if it is from another 
country. 

Funny (not funny for some) story about bars here. I know that there are many 
people, bars and bartenders that do know what they are doing, but just an 
example of one that doesn't know what they are doing - I was in a bar about 
two weeks ago, and asked them if they make cocktails off the menu, I asked 
what would be the price of an Old Fashioned and a Manhattan (When I order 
outside I would like most order something I can't make at home, so American 
whisky is the norm, and of course Angastura!). The bar tender replied (via the 
waitress) that he has never heard of an Old Fashionedm I ended up having a 
Late'. I went back a week later (let's not get into that one) and asked about 
an Old Fashioned seen as there was a different bartender that eavning. Believe 
it or not, I was told that an Old Fashioned is a glass, not a cocktail. 
Bravely I asked about a Manhattan, he went into the kitchen and came out with 
his bartender recipe book and said he found an Old Fashioned in the book 
(amazing isn't it?). Going through the book with him, I decided to have a 
Manhattan, needless to say the bar had no Angastura. 

Please don't think that all places and people are like that here, I just had 
to share.
