Yesterday Polina and I went to explore the Turkish region of Berlin (our guide recommended it over the weekend). We decided to get dinner near the area and consulted the Lonely Planet guide my lab co-worker kindly lent me. We decided to go to a small restaurant called Nil. This was by far the most brilliant idea we've ever had. Although we got lost (which gave us the opportunity to get some baklava and cake), we eventually made our way to the small, Sudanese restaurant. We got chicken wraps (Sudanese style) and then.... we were still hungry! We looked at each other and went back in. The guy at the store looked at us and said... "but you already ate"!!! I guess we didn't look like we would be the ones to go back for seconds. (But in our defense, we had long days--me at work and her exploring Berlin plus the food was good, it was like mouthfuls of happiness, no kidding). So we got tamiyas (falafels with a Sudanese twist), delicious! But so gluttonous... and sort of embarrassing. The guy at the store asked us where we were from, turns out that he is one of the few who knows of Arizona (he likes the Diamondbacks) and he welcomed us to Berlin and to his restaurant.
