Not a complaint, but an observation: getting a glass of ice cold water or an ice cold soda can be tricky. It seems most beverages are drank at or slightly below room temperature in Europe.
I was seved a cool, but not cold can of Fanta in France. I asked for a cold can but the server said 'but Monsieur, that is a fresh can'. Long story short, I ended up with the Fanta in a tall glass and a second glass full of ice with a spoon. They suggested I spoon the ice into the soda as needed.
I had similar experiences across the continent. Chilling the soda or water until it's cold or pouring the beverage over ice cubes to make it cold seemed like a foreign idea.
I had to ask for ice in a vodka tonic in Rome and got the second glass of ice with a spoon thing again.
Not the biggest deal, but something I noticed.
Yeah, that seems to really depend on the restaurant/bar/... If I'm not ordering a hot beverage, I want it to be ice cold. Some places will not give you ice unless specifically told. Never had to scoop it from one glass to the other though. Never had an alcoholic cocktail without ice either. I have to explicitly say I don't want ice in my whisky or they throw an entire bucket in my glass.
