This is a first-hand account on how Pharmacy works in Istanbul, Turkey. During a 5-week stay, it is an attempt to understand the processes, structures, and delivery of pharmaceutical care services that exist in their system. Even more, it is an anecdotal stream of thoughts, events and experiences of the culture and people in the region. I am out to explore new places, meet new people, try new foods, and ultimately return with a deeper appreciation of this unique part of the world.

8/04 photos
Top, this is a typical spread at Afacan restaurant, a little place in the middle of Taksim. They serve cafeteria-like food but don't let that fool you - everything is very well done. This place came highly recommended by Erdem and I will frequent here maybe 2-3 times a week. By now I've made friends with the staff.
Second from top, last night there was a little concert and craft fair in the middle of Taksim. Here she's making traditional embroidery. The textures and designs they come up with are extremely beautiful.
Third from top, here we were looking over the different styles of knives, all hand made. Doubtful these would pass through customs.
Fourth from top, some of the staff at Afacan insist on a photo. I say this will be on facebook and they erupt laughing.
Bottom, Erdem's friend owns a dance studio where they prepare for theatre productions in the city. We sat there for some time to drink tea and talk about pharmacy.
