About These Past Two Weeks

Merhaba!

I am safely in Tukey!!!!!  Sorry I have not posted sooner I wanted to wait to ging tet setteled.  So I am just go to start from the begining.

Orientation:
So getting to D.C was a bit of an adventure.  Long story short my flight to Chicago got delayed three or four times, but everything worked out in the end.
Actual orientation was so much fun.  It was really nice to meet everyone, even though we did spend all of our time in hotel meeting rooms.  It was also nice to meet the China kids.

Paris:
Before actually making it to İstanbul we had a five hour layover in the Paris airport.  It was suprisingly fun, but also tiring because all of us were sleep deprived.  But I tried macroones for the first time and they were delicious.

İstanbul:
We got in to İstanbul Saturday evening and on Sunday we went sight seeing and to the Eyptian Bizarre. It was much fun.  On Monday we went to a security briefing at the U.S consolate and then boarded a fairy to Bursa.

This past week:
Has been great.  My host family is so sweet and school going well.  On the weekend we went to their summer home and it was so nice to spend time with them.  Everything here is great so far.  There is a post I want to write about culturlal differences that I have noticed, but that can wait because I have to go to school.

I just wanted to update this for anyone who reads it.
