So here I am sitting at an internet cafe in Ankara... and I'm having fun but a little pissed off... mainly because Turkish Airlines LEFT my luggage in the USA... and I HOPEFULLY will have it by tomorrow...
Other than that... I must say that thus far... DAMN! Tis a very beautiful country where 8/9 or 10 women at random are very nice... so I am even more inclined to hit the bars tonight. Also, I've been taking so many pics and videos... and having a blast. Bilkent University is a huge campus and the temp, is great because up here in the mountains it is so different compared to my usual sea-level living. We should be hitting the field Friday... tomorrow I think we are hitting the museums at downtown Ankara... we all spent today sleeping since we had around 14hrs on a plane then 10 more hours of travel by land and we were smoked so...
Other than that... I must say I really like this country... the people, (thus far) have been really nice and the whole atmosphere is great. They drive like maniacs though... puts ANYTHING I have seen to shame... we were in a taxi yesterday and the driver is like... "It is very dangerous to drive in Turkey..." then suddenly he just sped up and was weaving in out of traffic on the highway... we all just buckled up and prayed... cause... you need to be REALLY aggressive to get anywhere here. I also found it odd and funny how I could buy a handgun for 55 lira and then get a haircut and eat at the same place... hahaha. So... I hope to add more sometime... but who knows. Till then... ttyl.
