18.10.09

As some people reminded me, I am a lazy ass. I know that, thanks. So here comes some pictures and information about what happened the last 2 weeks.

Saturday, October 10th: We spent the afternoon at the Istanbul Modern. Quiet interesting stuff in there but no pictures I shot myself right now, as I only took my eos 5 film camera (the shown pictures have been taken by Svenja with Jochen's camera).




Sunday, October 11th: The initial plan was to go to Dolmabahçe Palace. Unfurtonately, we arrived too late and it was already closed so we took a walk through Beşiktaş and bought a second hand couch for the flat.

Our new friend


Monday, October 12th: Tibor, Jochen's best friend came to visit him for the week so we went to Princes' Islands in the late afternoon. My camera's battery went empty when arriving on the island so I have only pictures from the trip, though I took sOur new friendome pictures with my AE-1.











Saturday, October 17th: With some of my friends we went do some sightseeing in Istanbul's western districts. The area was quite interesting though we again arrived quite late there so didn't see lots of monuments but found a very good place to eat Tavuk Dürüm.





In the evening, we went with the jolly packed with lots of great people to the Bosphorus to hang around, enjoy the view and a beer. At 1:30 am we enjoyed a nice "Midnight Bath". Water wasn't too cold and surprisingly clean!



Full of muscle

Well that's it! Since it might interest you, my courses are nice and thanks to the insa I will enjoy one more than initially planned but it's ok. My campus has a brand new swimming pool and I use it at least twice a week. It is a convinient way to do sport in a city where fresh air is rare!
