Inviting myself

When living overseas I think you have to take a different approach to socializing- that is, invite yourself anywhere if you don’t have something to do and make sure you never feel bad about doing it!

Today I came into work thinking “What am I going to do tonight?” Evenings here are a bit boring if you don’t have a plan- there aren’t any shows on t.v.- well there are some, but I don’t have a t.v. guide and haven’t figured out the timings of shows, with the exception of knowing that “Seventh Heaven” is on Sunday nights at 6:00 pm- I know it is a secret-tv-like that I have !! So- I decided to send an email out to a couple of friends- well acquaintances more or less- a fellow Canadian who used to live in Calgary and was dressed as a Zebra at the infamous Halloween party- she was cool, friendly, and seemed to have a good understanding of fun things to do. So sure enough she responded with a dinner invite to a famous restaurant in town called “Carnivore”. I immediately replied “YES!”- and then realized that it is a full meat eating restaurant (hence the name) which has varieties of meat such as crocodile, zebras, buffalo, etc. The reason I am a bit hesitant on meat lately is because of the tape worm… which was as a result of bad meat. Thankfully, Carnivore has a “Veggie-vore” menu and I will eat from that.

I found the menu list on the internet and thought it was interesting and exotic! Jeff and Sean- this is definetly your kind of place!
