Happy New Year!

As is the tradition with City Daily Photo, bloggers are challenged to post based on a theme. In January our theme has been “Photo of the Year.” On the CDP website I saw one photographer comment that he was going to make a collage and I thought “great idea” (and easier). So I’ve chosen a few photos of new discoveries or experiences that were particular to 2014.

If you want to see more photos from the CDP community, click here. There are great photos from all over the world.

New Café

Just over the closest bridge. I’d call it walking distance, but students are mostly likely to disagree. Good atmosphere, interesting drinks but it takes some patience. Expect to have to have them remake a drink so it’s actually hot, etc.

There’s a fairly new Indian curry restaurant in Wanda mall. I’ve been there twice and both times had these wonderful “Indian Quesadillas.” They’ve got vegetables and curry inside. Delectable!

Delectable Pumpkin

Friday I was taken to a new restaurant where we had this pumpkin. It seemed to be baked and coated with sugar. It was scrumptious, though we wondered if it would be even better with nutmeg, cloves, and sugar.
