Repeated exposure to countries not so fond of ice has impressed upon me that America's thing about filling up a glass with ice first and then letting a drink seep through the cracks between the ice cubes is weeeeeird. And then soda fountain drinks are calibrated to be mixed with ice and so they're sickly sweet if you don't.
But warm beer is a fucking travesty. The Germans never pesuaded me otherwise, and fortunately the Macedonians have no truck with that sort of nonsense.
Warm beer's not *too* bad, but yeah, there are some drinks that are designed to be drunk with ice. I've become one of those fussy people who like water room temperature. Which is why I don't usually drink restaurant water... So the Macedonians aren't that into ice water either?

You should set up a comic site a la Kate Beaton.

Well, I'm currently cross-posting them at
http://sushusketches.livejournal.com/tag/china+comic with some more chattiness. Maybe after I have more of an archive I'll put it properly on my website.

Personally I'm not a big fan of ice water either, especially since it's usually way too cold.
(I love the comic!)
