I like what yu got in the last point. I used to love cricket back home, but now i barely follow 'em. And, football..seriously dude i used to think its no better than the bull fighting...but now yu can see me most of the time wearing those big cowboys jersey. I think its not about showing off but its more of a natural thing...coz there barely any cricket in medias and all yu see are those gigantic football players..
I am not sure about potsmoking..,there might be some but not whole bunch of 'em but yu r right 'bout beers...i gained 25 lbs...gwad...
Anyway,,therez nothing wrong in assimilating to the culture of your
adopted country but keep your roots alive!!!

When you are in ROME be as ROMANS!!!
