Now that's a username I haven't seen in a long, long time! Happy to see you pop up again out of nowhere!
And yeah I saw a heavy number of implied Irish pubs in Istanbul too. That was odd, but none of them really managed to capture the actual atmosphere. Few tend to. So odd to see one basically on the border of Russia.
I’m hanging about again on my yearly visit! Been wondering if there is a niche for someone going on about niche electronica again. But then I temper that with years of talking into the void on social media and I feel fatigued.
Interesting about worldwide Irish pubs, I actually bet they are more authentic than the franchise ones that established over here.
