Tomato, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Tomato - a pleasant fast(er) food restaurant in the center, run by company, mostly known for their vending machine sandwiches. They also operate Čolnarna, a nice place at the small lake in Tivoli park in Ljubljana. Their sandwiches and restaurants are all recommended.


Hunter Chen, cultural affairs atache at US Embassy in Slovenia - helping get various people with various reasons go easily in and out of US and Slovenia. Born and raised in Los Angeles in a family of Taiwanese descent. Prior to earning his Law degree from USC, he tried the field of nuclear engineering, but did not persue that path as their test reactor in Oregon leaked. Safe move. Worked for legal departments at Universal Studios and LA Lakers, moved to US State Department, currently under Rice rule, where he served at consulate in Guangzhou in China and just recently moved to work US Embassy in Ljubljana, with his wife, custom made gaming PC and Nissan Murano following him :) Avid PC gamer (current favourite Company of Heroes) and enjoyes tweaking his PC - and for the record: shopping with his wife. Sci-fi reader, recommends Harry Turteldove's alternate history stories. Given free hands and blank check (preferably backed up by government) he would kick start commercially viable no-gasoline car production or develop a fully self sustainable green island. Whoa!

Pigeons and doves constitute the family Columbidae within the order Columbiformes, which include some 300 species of near passerine birds - there you go :)
