I'll be damned, I finally moved to Germany. It's a bit unreal. If anything this is all worth it for the doner. My god is it delicious. I'm headed to a Christmas market this weekend, I'll try and post some pictures

We have a ton of Döner places here in the Netherlands too. I speak from experience that it's especially good at 3AM when you're drunk (with extra garlic sauce).

It's become a popular fast food dish in Russia, as well, called shawerma or döner interchangingly. It's been a growing industry for a few years.

There's at least one of those movable box-cafe döner place on each major street even in this middle of nowhere.

I had a rather long discussion with two Israelites after they ordered shawarma and received döner. Apparently there's a big difference.. not that I could tell, or they could adequately describe. Either way, I'm surprised the trend has yet to hit the United States. It is really the best late night drunk food

I was talking to my groupmates about visiting other countries recently. One just came back from Italy, another's going to work&travel in the US in the summer, and me...

"Well, what if you get to move to Germany?"

Ever seen how intense Henry Rollins gets when he touches upon something important to him? That was me:

"At the first opportunity. As soon as I get the chance, I'm moving. Out of the god damn way".

I'm no kleinbl00, so no stories to share. Just — good on you, yo. Proud of your move.

How come you're there? What brought you there? Was it easy to apply for the temporary stay?

It's worth it man. At least for me, just escaping the states has been incredibly refreshing. I.. I like Europe quite a bit. Maybe I just like the change? I have yet to see. Well should you come to Germany most definitely let me know.

There's no need to be kleinbl00, we already have one of those.

I came here for work. It's a rather long and complicated story, but the application was mostly taken care of for me.

Splendid. Hope you have a good time in the original Eagleland.

    Well should you come to Germany most definitely let me know.

I will. Cheers.

I'd be thrilled to learn you liked what I had to say, but it's not nearly good enough.

Stories are awesome. Mine's just well-composed.
