My day

Getting to the airport in Milan was a real pain. What should have been a 10-minute wait for the bus turned out to be 55 minutes, presumably because of the snow, yet I counted 11 buses going the same route in the other direction! The flight to Istanbul was pretty good, even with a no-name airline like MyAir.

The hostel here is pretty decent. There's a room upstairs with great views of the Bosphorus, a TV, and best of all it has free Internet! I spent a few hours tonight updating my blog and uploading photos onto Facebook.
