January 15th was Sinan's birthday party. He's really not into his birthday but I always like to give a little something and of course, eat some cake. I brought a cake and some chips and clementines over, his cousin brought some soda, and I gave some gifts - nothing too special. But 15 minutes later, one of his roommates brought another cake! So we had to eat that as well. It was fun - I like how these guys don't use alcohol to celebrate things (they aren't against it, but just aren't that interested in it), but instead tea, sunflower seeds, and some soccer videos are enough to amuse them for hours. Sinan and his roommates are some of the nicest guys I know - I'm so thankful to have them and I appreciate their patience with me! I also use them as my guinea pigs for my attempts to cook Turkish food, but they seem to have no problems with that.
Cake Number #1. Complete with candles with the color of his favorite football team. That's one of his roommates, Umut, on the left, and his cousin in the middle.
Sinan with his new presents. I gave him the newest Galatasaray jersey (too small, but we returned it) and a really really soft blanket.
Cake Number #2. I've already stolen the fuzzy blanket.
That's Hamza in the front, and Baris on the right, Sinan's other roommates.
One more funny picture.
