Turkey Calling

The other day i got a call of my youngest uncle in Turkey, asking what i am getting up to on the 28th of July. Well of course my answer was: Writing my diploma thesis - just as every good student would answer. But then, when I heard what he had to tell me, I changed my plans in a second. I am flying to Turkey for a wedding - his wedding. Ata is getting married to Shukran (think you write her like this) on the 28th. What a great news. I am really happy for him. Great news - mabrouk atosch.

A friend of mine here would always tells me that i am very jumpy. I never really understood what he meant untill now i realise. Yes he is right i am jumpy and hyper flexible (as i would rename it). So should any one else plan to get married or plan a party - let me know... i am already getting two dresses tailored here in my last days in Cairo and i dont mind buying another one. Nadine - your wedding is already in my diary - so i am planning frankfurt in september.

The last week was really busy. I rented a car via a friend of mine and took my turkish mafia (Zuhal, Nihal + Mother and Oeznur) to the beach. Great time. Although the first day i was mainly sleeping. Second day was Oeznur´s B-day. So we had a smashing choco melon cake by the sea... what a lovely day.

Driving itself wasnt that bad - but once we hit the streets of cairo i just once again realised how bad egyptians drive - or should i say how different. So by humming to myself that i can drive however i want, I drove us home sound and safe.

Yesterday the girls left - all of them. So i am the only remaining German student here. Considering that i am leaving next week, i am now trying to see various people. Lets see if this works.
