Izzy in Turkiye: December 2011
http://izzyinturkiye.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
From Hollis, NH to Ankara, Turkey - A Rotary Exchange Journey. Sunday, December 4, 2011. Afiyet Olsun, İzzy Style. Contrary to what the title may suggest, this post is not about food. I promise I will write about Turkish cuisine very soon. It is amazing, it is delicious, it is fantastic, but no, this post isn't that post. This post is about books. If you know me, you probably have known for a long time my love of words. And if you don't know me, you should figure that out fast. I love. Bon appetit, enjoy!

Izzy in Turkiye: September 2011
http://izzyinturkiye.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
From Hollis, NH to Ankara, Turkey - A Rotary Exchange Journey. Sunday, September 25, 2011. On Being a Turk. I don't care how many people like being complimented on their appearance. Appearance compliments are all well and good, but I'm sure that all other exchangers would agree that the moment that someone thinks that your accent sounds legit, you immediately have a happy dance spazz attack there in the street. Or on the couch. Or wherever. At least I do. Hurrah, for I missed it muchly! Posted by I.Z.

Izzy in Turkiye: June 2011
http://izzyinturkiye.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
From Hollis, NH to Ankara, Turkey - A Rotary Exchange Journey. Friday, June 24, 2011. O Müzik Sever (She Loves the Music). I honestly have to say that I love Turkey. I haven't left yet (and nor do I know where I'm going.) but I already know I'm going to love it. I love Turkish food - when we go to Mediterranean restaurants, I will give a jaunty ' teşekkürler. Granted, half the time the waiters look at me as if I have six heads, but sometimes I will get a grin and a ' bir şey değil. Back I could eat kebaps.

Izzy in Turkiye: October 2011
http://izzyinturkiye.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
From Hollis, NH to Ankara, Turkey - A Rotary Exchange Journey. Saturday, October 29, 2011. Many Things of Much Importance. First off, today is 29 Ekim - Cumhuriyet Bayramı - the Turkish independence day. On this day in 1923, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, father of the Turkish Republic brought modern Türkiye into being. Turkish flags hang all around Ankara, as well as posters of Mustafa Kemal, the first president of the Turkish Republic. They fly these giant flags between the different apartment buildings :).

Izzy in Turkiye: July 2012
http://izzyinturkiye.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
From Hollis, NH to Ankara, Turkey - A Rotary Exchange Journey. Friday, July 6, 2012. I never claimed to be very good at keeping up with things- my diaries are almost always left half blank, forgotten on a shelf somewhere; my stories end without barely beginning; my videos remain as choppy clips; and my blog, well, my blog doesn't get updated too frequently. And now. it's done. And now. I'm going home? How can I think of 'home' as home? Sizi çok özleyeceğim ama gene döneceğim ve buluşacağız!

Izzy in Turkiye: Evleri Değistirdim - Changing Families
http://izzyinturkiye.blogspot.com/2012/04/im-still-bad-at-keeping-up.html
From Hollis, NH to Ankara, Turkey - A Rotary Exchange Journey. Wednesday, April 4, 2012. Evleri Değistirdim - Changing Families. I'm still bad at keeping up. WHAT HAPPENED? In the beginning I would post once or twice a week, and now I don't even have time to post once every two months. Okay. Let's go. Moving families is stressful. My thought process: Poop! I'll have to truck all this stuff back to the States and its like a 22 kilo weight thingy and- Gack! Fact: I fit in my suitcases, my things do not.

From Hollis, NH to Ankara, Turkey - A Rotary Exchange Journey. Sunday, April 29, 2012. Aa, bugün çok iyiydi! Gelecek Cuma günü, arkadaşım Mathe'nin doğum günü olacak (o da bir öğrenci değişım, Brezilya'dan), ama biz bu hafta sonu kutladık. Arkadaşlarımla ben Luna Park'a gittim. Çok eğlendik! Today was such a fantastic day! Next Friday is my friend Mathe's birthday (he's another exchange student, from Brazil), but we celebrated it today. With my friends, we went to Luna Park. We had so much fun! I'd like ...

From Hollis, NH to Ankara, Turkey - A Rotary Exchange Journey. Wednesday, August 31, 2011. Some Like It Cheeky. Didn't you want to hear about life in Turkey? May a rant about cheek kissing bring you joy. Post Scrit: Here is a semi-transcript of what goes down in the video if you can't or don't want to watch it. Everyone says that your first kiss is awkward. Posted by I.Z. Saturday, August 27, 2011. Kahvaltı var. Pancake var. Reçel var. Şurup var. ÇOK GÜZEL! I put in too much süt. A traditional Turkish br...
