Tomorrow morning I'll be gone, so in case I forget to update later, I'll do it now. I'll be gone for two weeks. I wanted to keep a diary and write about what happened everyday, since last time I was there interesting things happened time to time. There was that morning walking through the back streets of Instanbul, almost like backyards except concrete, with their grey buildings and the grey overcast sky, and suddenly stumbling across 50 women walking together dressed in black, congregating at one's house for after-funeral tea and services. I have no way of doing this except by long hand, the same goes with writing too. I hope there are internet cafe's closeby.
I've got mixed feelings about the trip. One is dreading the actual traveling, another is excitement about seeing all the old places and smells and memories of being in Istanbul when I was a child. The funny thing about me is, at least I think that this will happen, is that I'll much be much happier and satisfied with everything once it is done with.
See you all later.
