Doner's are so much better but I can't find a proper place in Calgary. I wish I was in Europe where I could find a Doner place every block and they only cost 2-3 Euro.

I loved seeing the meat on the rotisserie thing, I saw one where it was like 3 feet wide, it took 4 people to carry it.

Doner's are like the sole reason why I am hitting up the Arab countries in 2013, that and the history.
Why would you go to an Arab country to find Doners? You realize they're primarily Turkish and European, right? You'll find Doners much more easily in Europe for the same reason you'll find Donairs in Canada (if you click on the wiki link and scroll down, you'll see that it explains all the variations on doner kebab). It's where they're from.

In Arab countries you'll find shawarma, becuase it's the Arabic version. Which isn't to discourage you from going to Arab countries (well, many of them, anyway, some of them are rubbish), or from eating proper shawarma from somewhere like Reem in Amman.
