Turkey - Transition Day

The last two teams presented to their client (with whom I sang American karaoke at a Turkish bar on Monday night) yesterday. That meant yesterday was cause for celebration. To close out the residency, and once we got back in Istanbul after our 3 hour bus ride back from Bursa, we took a dinner cruise along the Bosphorus with a DJ and open bar. There was much dancing and rejoicing. And we of course rocked it out to our favorite new song, Hadise's Düm Tek Tek (YouTube is blocked here, but I found it on Google Video). Listen to it and love it. We are bringing it to the States.

That's our boat.I'm on a boat.
Rumeli Hisari, built in 4 months when Sultan Mehmet was only 19 in preparation for conquering Constantinople.

On Friday I'm getting on a Turkish Airlines flight to Bodrum for a week at the all-inclusive Aegean Dream Resort, discounted by the GW alumna who had our professor when she was in undergrad. Gotta finish those damn reflections so I can really be on vacation...
