British tourist: Corfu holiday will be a nightmare without English food!
A British tourist has described her holiday to Corfu as a nightmare after she was unhappy with the local culinary choices. Sarah Campbell, who traveled to the Greek paradise, was disappointed by the unavailability of English food. Although Corfu is known for its exquisite Mediterranean cuisine, Campbell missed the familiar foods of her homeland, including stuffed rolls and British classics.
The problems began for her as soon as she arrived. Instead of the expected variety of English dishes, she found a variety of Greek and Italian dishes. “I couldn’t find anything on the menus that I wanted,” Campbell explained in frustration. The tourist described her despair as she wandered around restaurants only to find traditional English dishes almost completely absent.
Cultural differences and expectations
Campbell's experience sheds light on the often different expectations of travelers and what they actually experience. While many vacationers want to enjoy local cuisine, some, like Campbell, have difficulty breaking away from their usual dining choices. “I always thought vacations meant trying new things, but I just wanted something familiar,” she said.
Your case is not unique; numerous tourists report similar experiences in countries with distinctive local cuisines. In Campbell's case, the vacation was made even more frustrating when she saw friends on social media enjoying delicious local fare while she wandered around hungry.
NBA and media contracts
Meanwhile, the NBA recently announced new media deals with The Walt Disney Company, NBCUniversal and Amazon, among others. These agreements, effective from the 2025-26 season through the 2035-36 season, bring a variety of new broadcast options for NBA games. The games will now be shown on platforms such as ABC/ESPN, NBC/Peacock and Prime Video, which will significantly increase reach and accessibility for fans, according to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.
Disney will broadcast 80 regular season games per season, while NBCU is aiming for up to 100 games. Amazon will continue to stream 66 games on Prime Video, as well as additional playoff events. These far-reaching agreements mark a significant shift in sports coverage and offer new opportunities for marketing and creative advertising during games.
