and riding the gondola behind mine was Orhan Pamuk, the 2006 Literature Nobel Prize winner.
I'm so impressed you knew who he was. I didn't recognize the name even. And if I had recalled it (which I totally didn't, and couldn't even tell you what the guy wrote offhand tho I might recognize if I looked it up..maaaaybe) I sure as shit wouldn't know what the guy looked like.
So sad that I can recognize someone from a Cheetos commercial but could literally walk by someone like that and be clueless. So good for you!
PS: ZOMG PLEASE WRITE UP YOUR CHINA TRIP. In return I'll post some (imo cool) stuff my dad told me about going to obscure non tourist areas of China back in the late 80s for the company he worked for.
