hmm.. interesting..

went out for dinner last night. around my hotel there are a lot of restaurants and pubs, most of them foreign, like australian, belgian, italian, just plain european (whatever that is supposed to mean) and so on. i don't really like to be the kind of tourist that goes to the other side of the world only to end up at the same kind of restaurant as i would normally do at home. so i made an effort and after some walking around, i found a japanese restaurant.

'do you have a table for one, please?'

sat down and while looking at the menu, i got some nibbles (cabbage and a redish sauce). after 20 minutes, i still hadn't found anything that sounded the slightest bit nice or i even recognised at all - they were serving things like 'garlic turned with chicken skin', 'pregnant fish', 'salmon belly'.. well, you get the point.

so what should i do? i left. and guess where i ended up? hannibal - european pizza & grill, having a lasagna..
