From Abroad

As of late, I have been hanging out with Turks far out of my social class. For example, the other day I had dinner in one of the richest districts of Istanbul with one of the coaches of Besiktas JK. For those of you that don’t know Besiktas (I wouldn’t expect you to), it is one of three major soccer clubs in Turkey. So, well, you get the idea.
Anyway, I don’t have time to write a decent entry as I still haven’t finished tomorrow’s homework, which as always is substantial. I did want to put up some pictures however, and I hope you enjoy.

A quick view from the Galata Bridge

A good example of manzara... The old city at sunset.

Türks out for a stroll in front of Yeni Camii

Yeeep. That’s me and the Black Sea at the mouth of the Boğaz, Bosphorus.

And my Turkish family.

Some good old Turkish exercise. In every park there are “exercise machines”... although they are very oddly built without any kind of resistance, and I fail to see how there could be any real benefits.

Me “tuting some baliklar”(there’s some serious Turklish for you) in front of the Yeni Camii on the Galata Bridge.
