The closest an Aussie gets to Turkey

Someone once made me fall in love with the Middle Eastern gem after quoting a joke as told by Canadian comedian Dane Cook. It was something about stealing Turkey and “naming it Chicken”.

Since that moment last year, my eyes have seriously been set on hitting up the salt slopes of Pamukkale, the cultural hotspot of Istanbul, and the politically rich Ankara. So it comes as no surprise that yours truly had to raid his kitchen when he got home from Europe in search of some yummy turkish flavours, but when I got there, the cupboard was bare…. and so, I headed to Pasha’s in Newtown with some friends and gorged on some of the finest Turkish cuisine in Sydney.

These photos are a couple of weeks old, but all I can say is Turkish food + Shisha + BYO + 6 friends = pure happiness. :]
Enjoy…. and if you’re in the neighborhood, head over to that lovely little restaurant!

Lots of love,
Ryan! :]

I may LUUURVE my animals, but I love my playgrounds more.

This is one of those moments where I upload a ridiculous amount of love from my camera… oh it’s love alright. ;]

Recently, a.k.a on Wednesday, there was a public holiday in Bavaria, yes on a Wednesday! And thus, all of my good friends and I went to the zoo in Munich
so just three of us went.

The ironic part was that we found more entertainment in the various playgrounds (and our lunch), than all of the animals put together, although I was particularly saddened when a female orangutan sat glumly against the glass… (I secretly wished I could of set her free).

So here’s some shots of us making fools of ourselves in front of a bunch of squealing, whining, sugar-filled german children. Enjoy. :]
