Sweet bathrobe. No head towel?

Gotta say, those phyllo things look delicious. If you wrap it in phyllo it automatically = tasty.

Irn-bru is nectar of the gods. I had an unhealthy obsession with orange Triaminic cough syrup as a child and Irn-bru is the closest facsimile I have found as an adult. They have it over at Eats in Stuy. Plaza, Guilderland if anyone is interested (at some ungodly inflated price). By the way, I envy your travels.
