İstanbul

[lollardfish]

Turkish keyboards have many keys that US keyboards lack. Worse is the fact that i ıs somewhere else and I seem to lack a comma. Or a coma. Perhaps İ sımple shall eschew punctuation.

İ love this city and have arrived safely albeit without luggage. İ am assured that this will be changed by tomorrow morning at the latest. Riding in a cab remains a thrilling enterprise - the expressiveness of the use of the car horn. Tap for alerting fellow drivers that you are about to cut in front of them. Tap tap to urge the weak to move faster. LEAN for the polite suggestion that the people scurrying on foot hauling gear perhaps should get a move on.

Anyway. İ am here safely in İstanbul (for those who cared and knew) and difficulties with the keyboard will likely keep all communiques brief. The conference seems well set up and there is a tour early tomorrow.

Love to all!

Thanks for the update- enjoy the conference & the city to their fullest! (Of that I have little doubt!) : )

So...the question that all the Americans want to know is:

Do people REALLY just like it better that way?


Heh heh heh heh...

Have a great time and a safe return...

Lucky you, have a great time. :)

Me, the most traveling I'm doing this summer is merely to the Plane of Time. ;)

Didn't know you were going to Turkey again! Sounds great. Looking forward to more interesting updates, a la Venice. I just got back from my trip yesterday, and am still recovering. Think I picked up a cold. :( But I have some great photos (http://photos.yahoo.ca/jodi_e_r) and had an incredible time at the Edinburgh Festival.

Have fun!

I didn't realize you were going, either! Eat loads of rose flavored Turkish delight for me.

Was wondering yesterday what you were up to! More thesis work? Looking forward to your exploits.

Sorry we couldn't meet up. The best I could do on airfare was $1800. Discount European airlines just don't seem to fly from Paris to Istanbul.
