Monday I got to follow Katie to work. Her University is very nice and seems a lot better organized than mine in Italy. She works in the learning center giving extra help to students who need to practice their English, or holding conversation classes here and there. No students actually visited this day, because most were taking exams.
During her lunch break we went to one of Istanbul’s many mega malls. 5 stories high, it was filled with many western stores. I tried, and fell in love with iskender and the desert kunefe. Even when you order food at what would be our equivalent of a fast food place they still make it right in front of you.
For my last night we went up to a little restaurant in the middle of nowhere (the cab driver was even making fun of the location). This trip was necessary because the restaurant “Uzunya” was right next to the Black Sea. I feel like I saw pretty much the whole city. The fish was pretty incredible too as the pictures surely testify….
