Curtis @ 7/10/2016 11:41 Igor you've been using the word punt a lot lately. Could you define it and use it in a sentence for us? He was saying "PUNT?" I was totally reading that as another word that starts with a "C"

It should be called food from the colonies.

Oh there's no work today

Got my dissertation results today. I passed my MA with a merit (2:1 aka B+ in U.S.).

I guess I'm getting a masters degree, so that's kind of cool.

Also, Vern if you're in Barcelona you need to go to Ikibana:






Also Monroe is delicious if you want traditional tapas.








And if you go to Monroe, you can walk across the street and drink absinthe where Hemingway drank absinthe.

Oh definitely this one remote hut deep into the Sahara. You can only get to it by camel but they have the best tabouleh I've ever had.

It's the one on Av. del Paraŀle that I've been to on both of my visits to Barcelona. I still think about it like every day haha.

La Monroe is in El Raval and the Hemingway bar is right by there. It's called Bar Marsella. They also do rose and black currant gin & tonics, which are really good.

La Monroe is amazing and really popular with locals. Bar Marsella is definitely touristy but it's a cool experience. Both were recommended to me by my friend who was living in Barcelona at the time (I was just there in June).
