İstanbul`dayım! Türkiye'den çok selamlar!

Hello from İstanbul! I can't believe I'm here. My mom and I arrived here on Wednesday and have spent the last two days staying with a Turkish family - my TA from my Turkish class at Penn last year is back in İstanbul now and lives with her parents and sister - eating Turkish food, learning how to avoid carpet sellers, visiting incredible Turkish palaces and other sites, and gawking at the beautiful vıew of the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn, a small natural harbour that juts into İstanbul. It is beautiful here and we are having quite a cultural experience! One for the books! Pictures and more stories are on the way - I will post them when I get home.

I also had a lovely week with my parents here. Mom is here wıth me in İstanbul and will stay with me in Berlin until Wednesday. I will also send some pictures from that and share more stories as well.

For now... Görüşürüz! (See you later!)
