Bowling

Not much to report from this week, just been busy working and exercising and hanging out with various people. Last Friday there was a Wall Street event, we met at the nearby mall and went bowling. This was one of those things I was at first not really looking forward to but it turned out being better than I thought it would be. More people turned up than I expected, probably about 15-20 students were there. I think they also had fun, which is important.

Next week is the kurban bayram, or the sacrifice festival, another important time for Muslims. I have FIVE days off of work! I wasn't sure what to do at first; I looked into visiting different cities in Europe but it was soo expensive, and it's also expensive and crowded to travel in Turkey then. Anna was planning to go to Athens by way of overnight train so I'm going to tag along with her! It's the perfect solution. We get to escape from the crowds and blood of the holiday in Turkey (most Turks have 9 days off!) but not spend too much money. I will miss Turkey but it will be fun to eat some Greek food and see some different sites! I'll try to update while I'm there but don't worry if not. Take care!
