Perfect, thank you!

Same! So cool getting such a wide range of options! Thank you!

This was absolutely amazing, thank you so much for such a thoughtful response!

Absolutely love naan so very excited to try new things to pair with it! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the variety!

I’ve seen lots of these dishes on social media and they always look good so this seems right up my alley to finally try! Thank you!

Thank you! I didn’t even think about trying new drinks so that will be fun to try, too!

Love that, thank you for the extra info!

Thank you!

Will do, thank you!

Thank you!!!

Thank you! Noted and I’ll put it towards the end of the list just in case haha

A 20 min walk from me—perfect! Thank you so much!

Amazing suggestion! Never heard of this culture before so even more exciting to learn something completely new! Thank you so, so much!

Thank you thank you!!! And yes of course about tipping!

Ooh perfect! Thank you so much!

Thank you for this advice! I always felt too nervous to ask for things to not be made spicy or like it was a faux pas of some sort haha As for specific continent, I’ll have to give that more thought because I’m kind of interested in just diving right in and trying anything! Thanks again and I’ll update with any preferences I may come across!

that makes me very happy thank you for pointing that out!

just looked up some of the history about it! looks very cool!

thank you!!! even in October waking up felt SO different than dry CO. mentally preparing myself to get used to humidity again 🥴 i read a couple times on here that August seems to be the most brutal and the city is kinda empty so maybe i’ll get a jump on planning a trip for then haha

I’m not at all implying I truly got to know this city in 4 days. Just made note of things that were distinctly different to my time in Denver. Enough (meaning all that I came across) bikers/runners came up behind without saying anything that I made note of it. I didn’t realize these simple little things were sore subjects to residents! These notes are not at all indicative of character or inferiority vs superiority just a “you say tomato i say tomato” type thing (:

Thank you! Even with the help of the mountains as a marker I’m still horrendous at directions so this will be extra difficult! I was truly in awe at how people there know exactly what neighborhood, street name, metro line, etc to take and what direction they all run. They didn’t even have to think about it or process it! Heard some phone conversations of people yelling at the other end (someone who clearly didn’t know where they were going) and thought “oh god people are gonna be frustrated with me all the time bc i never know where i am” lmao

Definitely! I was with my mother and they still had no shame! This type of stuff isn’t unique to DC men but I was taken aback at the boldness. I’m used to men near me at least trying to be more subtle/smooth/whatever I guess?

i’m literally anemic and run cold generally and was sweating in some places bc the heat was so high! very excited to see how it plays out in actual winter haha
