I spent my Thanksgiving in class and at a bar...

Happy belated Thanksgiving to all. Hope everyone ate lots of turkey. I had soup for dinner. It was delicious soup, but it was no turkey with "all the fixings."

I went to a concert on Weds. night. Saw a group called Baba Zula. They are pretty famous here in Turkey. If you get a chance, check them out. I am not a huge fan of them, but you will get a taste of Turkish music. They play a weird electronic version of classical Turkish music. Hard to describe. The show was decent. Complete with belly dancers. Heres a picture of the band warming up before the show.

This other picture is of my friend Çağlar (pronounced Chalar). I just wanted to show you his shirt. Its a playboy bunny with a Muslim head scarf on. Its a pretty popular shirt over here and it makes me laugh every time I see it. So I thought I'd show you all.


Computer still not fixed. Trying to plan a day for Thanksgiving. I have a midterm on Sunday....The teacher is emailing the question to us around noon on Sunday and we have to turn it in by 10 am the next morning. WHO DOES THAT?? I only go to ODTU one time a week and I would like to keep it that way. But now I have to go there at 8am on Monday morning and then again later that day for a lecture for the stupid CIEE course. BAH. I hate going to ODTU. They dont even have a bathroom in the library. Its no wonder that all the kids there want to leave Turkey to go study somewhere else.
