Yeah that happens when you travel, here in NL in any non specialty place you need to specify cafe macchiato (short) or latte macchiato (long). Australia is wierd for that too, on the west coast a flat white is like a weak latte (single shot, lots of steamed milk), whereas east coast is double shot with well textured milk (like in the UK). If you wanted the same drink on the west coast then you'd order a long mac, topped up.
