Episode One

Ok, so episode one is a lil late...but I must carry on. Turkey is amazing!! I've been so caught up wandering around the city, buying doner, and climbing up Mt. Everest (aka. our 5th floor apt.) to set up my blog, that and being consumed by thoughts of all things Turkish. Here's a brief run down of funny things that have happened so far...
1. Doner at the corner store for 1 YTL
2. Women in Burkas carrying converses
3. "I saw you on facebook last night!"
4. Playing chicken with double decker bus
5. Hopping off a ferry before its completely docked
6. Drinking Efes
7. Liking Raki which tastes like black licorice. Yum!!
8. Power Turk playing crazy songs
9.Akbils to use the pub. transport system
10. Washers and strawberries the size of your fist
11. Hello! Yes Please!!! exclamations from street and restaurant vendors
12. Turkish dance clubs = Techno, strobe lights
13. Doing the Hokey Pokey with Turks (who do not dance like we do at all)
14.Me needing to get a job, knowing no Turkish
15. Only eating Nutella for breakfast
16. 5 flights of stairs to our apartment
17. Trying to communicate with the Turks
