How Foolish
It happens that the hotel where I’m staying has a very decent internet connection on its top floor. I have tried to find a connection from some place else (including illegaly using the congress computer that is…) but I haven’t tried to ask this hotel’s receptionist (which by the way is really cute… She’s half arabic I believe).
Anyway, I’m staying at Mornington hotel on Bromma, the suburbs area of Stockholm. It’s 10 at night currently and I’ve just finished dinning on a chinese restaurant. It is pretty weird not to eat on Swedish’ traditional restaurant while you’re in Sweden, instead I’m eating Thai and Chinese food (plus the golden arch) while I’m here. One thing if you are a moslem, it’s pretty hard to find a non-pork menu here, not to mention any halal food around.
Many moslem thinks that the terms halal only means that it’s not pork or the likes while I think, the term halal also includes the method of how the animal was killed. Is it in the name of Allah or is it not? And I assure you, none of the waitre/waitress knows about that either. Blog much later on ;-)
Hati-hati… Chinese restaurant di Indonesia dan di luar negeri beda lho… Kalau yang dicari menu halal, Chinese restaurant mungkin bukan tempat yang tepat. Meskipun yang kita makan hanya cah kangkung, tapi tempat memasaknya campur dengan masakan non halal. Jadi… lebih baik cari restoran dengan menu ikan laut atau restoran utk para vegetaris saja, mungkin itu jauh lebih aman.
