worlds apart

about one year ago Danny and I stumbled into an air conditioned cafe just a few blocks from the Blue Mosque to hide from the sweltering 40 degree heat of Istanbul.  We ended up hanging out in this cafe eating baklava, drinking Turkish coffee and watching some kind of male diving competition while waiting to beat the afternoon heat.

one year later (as I checked the date in my journal), Danny and I stumbled into a Turkish cafe just a few blocks from the Hi-Fi where we watched Say Anything in the suburb West End of Brisbane. We ended up hanging out in this cafe eating baklava, drinking Turkish coffee and listening to Balkan pop music while waiting for the show to start.

very similar events taking place in very different parts of the world, although the date was the same the seasons were different, never would have thought one year ago that I would be having the same exact meal a year later in a completely different part of the world.

...the baklava was heaps better in Istanbul but still.
