What's something good that happened today?

[nostalgiaquest]

I'm into bird stuff....

But seriously. I spend a lot of time near oceans, and sea birds are shit machines.

This time I was just walking down a crowded street in Istanbul. A few blocks off the water. Other times were on navy bases (they're infested with seagulls), a beach in Japan, and on a boat in Thailand. So yeah, water.

Who lives near the ocean? Fancy ppl. Drunken sailors, and pirates. Which r u?

[nostalgiaquest]

A fancy drunk pirate? I don't if i could live in a place that doesn't have access to the ocean. Spent childhood in California with frequent trips to Pismo and Morrow Bay, then moved to the Seattle area for a while, then lived near the beach in Japan for a few years, and now in the Netherlands. Looking at buying a small boat soon to putt around the canals.

In other good news, I bought this Turkish rug to hang on the wall and make my zoom background more interesting. Nothing super crazy, these things get fuuucking expensive. But i really like the color. Probably cuz it reminds of the ocean lol.

I felt like i was smuggling drugs bringing it back to my hotel. Look at how they wrapped this shit up. Gave me the duffle bag and everything.

Is Satan in Istanbul? I thought he was in hell banging Sadam Hussein.

Alls I know is I stumbled across a burrito place here that has the best California burrito i've had in 10 years of being an expat. And that's coming from someone who grew up in California.

mmmmmmmmm

yeah the caliphate is coming back

[nostalgiaquest]

Crap. I hope they still allow burritos.

I've had nothing but good experiences here so far. Today, after I bought my rug, i mentioned that I was hungry and asked for a restaurant recommendation. They insisted that I come back to their house a block over where I ate a home cooked meal with the whole family. Here's the view from their roof -

Istanbul is the most beautiful city on earth.

But satan is there doing bad things.

That family will be subjugated I hate to say it but give them a big hug.
