Hi Guys, I am alive, but barely. Just kidding. Only very tired. My boys were very happy to see me and me them. But I’m in a total time-warp-culture-shock. The most overwhelming thing is how much broken down, junky, useless stuff is in my house. It’s suffocating.
Want to write about the Turkish election, missing my friends, what I’m eating (basically bacon and Californian wine)… but too woozy. Will try tomorrow.
XOXO

hey, do you find yourself looking into restaurants/cafes/stores and thinking to yourself, "are women okay here?" because I still do that occasionally... and it's not like I was in a part of Turkey where there were lots of men-only places... but that sense of "it's going to suck to be the only woman, and a foreign one at that" - it stays with me. my boyfriend thinks it's hilarious.

Well I've only been home for 2 days, but am in a definite haze...
Tonight we went to our neighborhood Japanese restaurant. It's an amazing place because you see every color of skin and race there, young and old, and this is not normal, even for SoCal. This restaurant has just been here forever and its downhomeness draws everyone. I love that.
I also find myself talking to strangers in public a lot here, cause I can...
