I find my hosts, with all the best intentions, are not exactly the best with details. I was told the buses run til 1 am from Taksim. After waiting a hour since 11:15, I end up taking a taksi. The taksi's are reasonable, 12 TL but still.
Last night was fun... All of us students had a nice dinner in Taksim. I meet even more people from the program.
By now I am meeting so many new people I need to be careful to remember what arrangements are going on. Tonight my pharmacist invites me to a beer. The guys at the dorm want to go out sometime. In fact earlier one of them wanted a drink Wednesday but then I ended up going to a small dinner with the pharmacy students. The pharmacy students want to plan a trip up the Bosphorus for Sunday, not to mention the spice market and who knows what else.
The students from Egypt have invited me a place to stay someday whenever I choose to visit Egypt. Another 2 Egyptian students left last night for Europe. They are fun guys and we promise to be in contact.
I will most likely rest the blog for this weekend. I have a feeling there will be a lot of stuff going on and won't have the best time to write.
More pictures to come because they are good way to show what life here is like.
