İstanbul’a döndüm, iyi gibi diyebilirim ama boş hissediyorum. Biraz dinlen dediler ama nasıl dinlenebilirim felaket devam edince. Nereye bakarsam acı, tek dikkatimi çeken konu deprem. Düşüncelerim ve kalbim orada. Geçmiş olsun demek eksiktir ama sözüm zaten yetmez ❤️🩹

reminds me of the way I learned the word yamyam: the Gibi episode Erasmus'la gelen yamyam, which I found so hilarious already because of the word
Map shows the word for cannibal across Europe.
Icelandic has some 70s pop vibes with “maneater”. Turkish almost sound to be in favour of cannibalism as yamyam sound kinda delicious.

Drie jaar geleden kwam ik voor het eerst naar Antakya, vooral om künefe te eten. Sinds de aardbevingen ben ik drie keer terug geweest, maar zonder künefe en Antakya simidi voelde het niet als Antakya. Langzaam komt die rijke eetcultuur weer tot leven, kebab voor kebab
