My Scottish Friend's Farewell

Last Monday Ian had to leave. Well, I guess he wanted to leave, for his journey continues and takes him to New Zealand and later on to the United States. As he spend a lot of time with us and we did lots of funny things, it was no question to celebrate his goodbye. We decided to go to a Thai restaurant in Newtown, I hadn't done that before (so it was time) and for Ian and Greg it was kind of a revival. Marc joined in and so we got a table for four. This was also the first time for me to experience BYO (bring your own): as a lot of restaurants are not licensed to serve alcohol they allow you to bring your own bottles of wine, beer, whatever. They will charge two bucks for opening them and providing glasses, the rest is up to you. So we had a bottle of red wine. The restaurant had opend the very day before we came there and so they were excited about every guest and served us really good. The food was delicous and ... looked quite unfamiliar for me. Take a look at the picture and tell me if you saw me eating something like that (is it meat, huh?) before.
Back at the hostel a few hours later I packed my bag (as I had to check out the next morning) and we went out for another last coffee. I might have to do a Scottland tour now, Ireland could be added to this list as well. Goodbye Ian, we'll miss your accent.
