kick-boxing shawarma in a small town

Breukelen, Netherlands, 2026.05.31

Tonight I walked into town yet again and had a late lunch of shawarma plate at a Turkish joint run by a Bulgarian-born former kick-boxing champion.

om, nom

My colleague from Japan arrived after I'd come back, and we headed back into the town (making my third time) for Vietnamese. I ate like a king today, despite the shaky start.
