Last Full Day in Assos!
... in my defense, short of asking me to stir the soup, I wasn't allowed to help with anything). Dinner was rice, chicken with veggies, mushroom soup and cold soup. I'm not really sure who was supposed to eat with us since it changed so many times (first Nur was here and then she left and then Ayşegül was here and then she left) but it ended up being Seher, Selin, and, Selen's boyfriend, Ozberk. They ran off right after dinner to go to a poetry reading and Tugay and ...
No Seriously, Everything Really is Beautiful!

Just past midnight, Tugay and I decided to go take a walk with Seher and Necip. Then we met up with Ayşegül and went to the beach ...
A Landmark Day for Me!
... quite entertaining. After looking at one of the photos I’d taken of all of them, they were suddenly yelling “add me! add me!” (on Facebook), apprehensively at first (because they weren’t sure if this was correct) and then with more force. We stopped at a little row of street vendors, where I bought some presents for people! Finally we made it to a bar! All the songs were in Turkish (which, quite frankly, was a relief after only hearing English ...
