Turkish Coffee Fortune

Last night, one of Pınar’s friends, Isma, joined us for dinner. After a light meal of cheese, bread and olives, we enjoyed a cup of Turkish coffee. Made by boiling a superfine powdered coffee with sugar, each cup of Turkish coffee is comprised of two parts liquid and one-part dregs, together totaling about 100mL. Many superstitious Turkish women believe that the leftover sludge contains insights into their future. When I finished that part of my coffee drinking, Pınar grabbed my ...

Not much happening

Beer’ll fix it After the entertainment of a couple of nights ago not much has been happening, really. So little in fact, that sitting about drinking a beer has become an event worth mentioning (yes, that’s what I am doing now… again!) It’s medicinal, helps me relax and prepare myself for any ‘midnight mouse catching’ duties that may come my way. For our part, we are still in Olympos, killing time waiting for my replacement coming shock. Hopefully it will ...

Culture Enriched Jewel of the Desert. Hard to describe breathtaking.

Dubai. What springs to mind? Man made isles, designer shopping, superior hoteling, bustling with tourists? If you genuinely experienced the beauty of Dubai, you will agree with me. My experience was one of a lifetime, difficult to describe with words, but I have my memories… I did not realize until we come to land. The desert surrounding the city is like anything else in the world. Not realize how amazing it is until you see for yourself. Sand patterns of ...

Dear Mr. Bilkent

Today my class was canceled so I spent the day trying to do some stuff on the Internet, which was not working as well as I hoped it would. You would imagine that a school like this would have great net, but no. And I also finished my little case for business ethics and social responsibility, a class I really love by the way. In any case this was not what the blog was about. I had interviews last week ...

Kas Turkey with the experience of the season

Out on the town and the hot spot The Bar-celona last night, the bartenders tried to scare me…”Oh, tomorrow there will be a terrible storm. The roads and the schools will be closed. You will never be able to go out on a boat!” Since I had just booked a boat for a day trip to the Greek island of Kastellorizon (Meis in Turkish) I found the news a bit depressing. So when I woke up this morning I hurried ...

A trip to the community in the north of Adam

After leaving the protest camp I got the train up north to meet my best Israeli brother ‘Pheonix’ who I met in Israel in 2009 but later also met him again in Morrocco and also hosted him in the spring/early summer of 2011 in England. I had to wire him some supplies are entered into the special that I could find in England, Israel, to do jewllery, does incredible things. The train from Tel Aviv to Nahariyaa shequels was 43, ...

Aphrodisias

Today our main destination was Afrodisias. It was quite cool in the garden as we ate our brekky. We also handed over quite a large bundle of laundry and browsed the collection of tablecloths, cushion covers and other items they had for sale at the Venus. At 9:30 a minibus arrived to collect us for our trip. There were a total of ten of us in the little van. The last two on were a young Korean couple, and we ...

The lie that will not die

This is a hell of a scam that inspires spawned the birth of a very anti-Semitism and racism. It is to believe this lie, which led to the attack on the World Trade Center on 9-11 and we will see a lot of horror in the world today. I want ...

RIHLA 4

The article that I chose to read was "hate crimes and violence, people experiencing homelessness." I have read this article because I wanted to find out exactly what drives people to attack those who are vulnerable or disadvantaged than others. I learned that this article is that people who attack the homeless are usually the ones who think that the homeless are "bad" and must be "cleaned out". Others may just be the thrill seekers who take advantage of those ...
