Hey, thanks guys. As long as theres interest, ill keep posting along the way.

Not sure if i mentioned it already, but i took a job at a local Hostel here in Istanbul, working the night shift. I've met alot of cool people already from all over the place. Really glad to have this opportunity and to be spending this time here.

We taught this swiss couple how to play backgammon


Ibrahim, on the right, is the day shift guy, and usually takes out some guests for a night on the town a few times a week. On the left is a cool dude from NYC.


Mustafa, works on a cargo ship for a few months at a time, in port for the week.


Beautiful Slavena, from Bulgaria, in town for an International Law conference


Matt, with friends from Cali, celebrated his 25th bday here


And just some randoms
Lip and poke...


Lotsa lotsa cats all over the place here


Istiklal Street is a pedestrian traffic only street, lots of shopping, eating, bars, movie theaters, bars, food, and tourists, lol. Busy place, a must for any visitor, and only 20 meters from my hostel. "christmas" lights are there year round and on every night. The street is lively until wee hours of the morning.


Lastly, is my buddy that I named Chilli, cause he's just so chill. Stray dogs are very common here as well, and Istanbul does a great job of keeping tabs on them. There are all (most of them) tagged and vaccinated.


Chilli happens to hang out at the bus stop i'm a regular at everyday, and usually waits with me until i'm picked up. Its weird, actually. Turkey has all these stray dogs that I would never ever fear, completely harmless, rarely bother people, just mind their own biz, and yet you should see how afraid of dogs some turkish people are, it cracks me up.

Alright folks. Have a good one.
*oh, and yes, there are a handfull of E30's out here, mostly stock and euro-bumpered of course. Theyre so purrty.
