from Ben

Life is great here in Istanbul, I've been eating balik and ekmek (fish and bread), and meeting so many new friends at the universities. The days can be difficult at times because we don't exactly have a 'set' schedule. Please lift me up as I seek new friends and build upon the relationships that I have established. I'm taking lots of pictures and have stories for you all, so just be a little patient, k?

I love you all,
Love,
Ben
