I thought message was from Nick...

Anyway. I saw exactly what he means last year in Dusseldorf.
Whole Souvla BBQ right in front of the small Greek shop. almost in the middle of the city! Some habits really die hard.
(Nostalgia maybe?)
It can be viewed two ways; You either go along with it and enjoy the site (celebrate diversity! {g})
or you can consider it inappropriate (which it is). It depend on personal attitude/likings towards these kind of things.
Personally I do not mind. Unless it is under my window.

Cheers :)
