I like the fact that I can get pide in the local mall food court here in Christchurch now. A good sign that our tastes are getting at least a little more cosmopolitan.
(Of course, you can also get yourself a traditional English-style roast beef dinner with mixed vegetables, potatoes and gravy from the Chinese guys in the next shop over...)
Oh nice, I'd never seen pide anywhere, that I noticed anyway, before Turkey. Coming back I was kind of annoyed because most "Turkish" places just serve kebab and I was hungering for the many non-kebab Turkish food items!
Christchurch must be very metropolitan, in all of Orange County, California, with its population of three million, as far as I could tell after performing several google searches of likely combinations of words, there were only two places that might sell Turkish cuisine beyond kebabs.
There's actually an extremely good Afghan place not far from my parents house though! You know its good because its always PACKED with Afghanis. (:
Oh if you're into extremely well-made foreign films that use a war-torn setting to make a deep and meaningful point, I also very strongly recommend the Russian film Prisoner of the Mountains (2006). One of my favorites!
Ah, yes, I do! I really love that movie. Let me know what you think when you watch it (or the other ones I recommended), I'll be curious what you think (:
I don't know, I think they are able to keep digging them closer to eachother and work their way forwards to eachother? But it really must have been madness, I feel like the scene portrayed above probably doesn't do it justice, for one tihng, all these guys standing at their full height with their head and shoulders over the trenches would have been dead immediately, I think they probably were all just barely peeking over. Over on the Australian side of the sculpture one of the guys has this interesting thing that looks like a gun attached to a periscope.

There's a bunch of these in the U.S., though you might have to be in a major metro area.

Well, apparently those two companies just merged, so maybe there isn't "a bunch". But there's at least one!

While there's not a lot of them, we do have a few proper restaurants catering to people with a taste for Turkish, Persian and even Afghan food, too.

How the hell did they manage to dig them, or are they natural earth formations?
