OH, yeah. About Romania, they are quite proud of their Roman roots — although they play down the genocide angle. They say that Romanian is the closest living language to Latin, even closer than Italian.

There is a new Turkish restaurant in Omotesando which was recommended by my Turkish friend. I thought it was alright, but nothing special, but the food in Istanbul was amazing.

I normally don’t like sweet stuff at all, but I have to admit I ate a lot of Turkish sweets. I’m surprised my body did not go into insulin shock or something.

There was a famous Turkish restaurant in Shibuya that I ate at a few times. The food was so so and their answer to the halal question was a bit suspicious, so can’t really recommend it. I don’t like Turkish Delight either, though really love most other Turkish food.

Speaking of Romania, I didn’t realize it was named after the Romans and that they attempted to completely wipe out and replace the indigenous population. I’ve gotta watch less History Channel if I ever want to procreate.

There is decent Turkish food in Tokyo, just have to go to the nicer
places. Expensive though (well at least to an unemployed yob
like me).

Oh and good, fresh, Turkish delight is decent. Though better are
those Turkish sweets, never thought a gob of grease, honey and
nuts could be so good, but fresh from a good patisery is amazing.

But yes, Turkey overall is great, that’s why Europeans flock there.
