I arrived last night (I should note there's a 10 hour difference between L.A. time and the time here), and am enjoying catching up with my friends.<br />Today I got to see part of the city, try some delicious Turkish food, and ride on a bus, a metro, and in 2 taxis.<br />I definitely feel like I'm on an adventure here...I can now just barely say, "Hello" and "Thanks", though after a quick language lesson, I feel relatively confident in pronouncing the words I read. It is quite an odd feeling though to bump into people left and right, and know that most won't understand my "Sorry!"s and "Pardon Me"s.<br />I am taking a crazy number of pictures, so rest assured--I'll post some when I return to the U.S.<br />I'll be leaving here Monday morning (super early!), and getting back into LA Monday afternoon.<br />Be well in the meantime!K-Dawghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15143682268259623123noreply@blogger.com
