Chicago Marathon 2012 | Merhaba y'all
https://kaperuccio.wordpress.com/2012/10/09/chicago-marathon-2012
October 9, 2012. On Sunday, October 7th, Chicago was (mostly) shut down for the 2012 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. About a month ago, I decided to volunteer with Fleet Feet Chicago. And I handed out Gatorade to hundreds of thirsty runners at Mile 10. It was my first time working at a marathon, and I’d do it again in a heart beat. Despite the crisp 41 degree weather (perfect for runners, not so much fun for standing around), the marathon made for a great morning. The fruits of my labours. I loved seei...

Indiana James and the Slippery Hamam. Misadventures from the Orient. Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Well this is the beginning. And by that I mean I was bored enough to finally create my blog. Except I don't leave for the orient until February 7th, which means I don't really have anything to say. Well, when something exciting does. Edward Said is rolling over in his grave.

Indiana James and the Slippery Hamam: Back in action
http://slipperyhamam.blogspot.com/2012/02/back-in-action.html
Indiana James and the Slippery Hamam. Misadventures from the Orient. Thursday, February 16, 2012. Eb and I making Valentines for the Access Program party. It's been a while. Sorry, but the eviction plus winter holiday has kept me away from the internet for a long time. Not to worry- I'm back in Konya, back at work, and back to a (semi)reliable internet connection. And I kept a little travel journal to ensure I pass on the choicest bits of my holidays to you. Where to start? Our new apartment has come a l...

Indiana James and the Slippery Hamam: November 2011
http://slipperyhamam.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Indiana James and the Slippery Hamam. Misadventures from the Orient. Monday, November 21, 2011. Sorry for the alarmist message posted before the weekend- we have indeed staved off homelessness and managed to escape the confines of the Erasmus Sarayi to boot! 160; What a weekend. Catholic Church, Antakya. Wednesday, November 16, 2011. Just a little housing crisis. Gate to campus on a sunny fall day- goodbye Erasmus Sarayi (insh'Allah). Monday, November 14, 2011. Bellapais Monastary, Girne, Cyprus. This is...

And One Fine Morning...: Bikes and Rugs
http://postgradstillrad.blogspot.com/2012/05/bikes-and-rugs.html
And One Fine Morning. Sunday, 6 May 2012. The weather has changed sharply, and so have my habits. I spent the winter months curled up with podcasts playing and knitting needles clicking. Now, springtime has drawn me from my blanket nest and into the warm sunshine. I swear- read the rest for photo-documented proof. The most memorable part of our trip was our 3-hour bike ride through an apple orchard. The scenes were incredible, and it felt nice to exercise a bit. Below are some shots from our ride:. That'...

And One Fine Morning...: December 2011
http://postgradstillrad.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
And One Fine Morning. Monday, 5 December 2011. Queen of the Cotton Castle. After Fridays night class, my academic faculty student and his wife invited me to the movies with them. I graciously accepted, and the three of us headed to see the last installment of the Twilight series: Breaking Dawn. The film was in English with Turkish subtitles, so I was able to quench my thirst for pop culture with ease. Cinematic genius, it was not, but it was a fun way to end the school week.

And One Fine Morning...: September 2011
http://postgradstillrad.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
And One Fine Morning. Thursday, 29 September 2011. Hanging my Hat in Afyon: Finally Settled. Ive been in Turkey for just under a month and Im happy to say weve finally settled in Afyon. After much running around, our apartment now has beds, a functioning stove and various other necessities. Im becoming familiar with the streets of this small city and the small city is becoming familiar with me. Not many foreigners come to Afyon, so I often get asked Nerelisiniz (where are you from? Earlier today we were ...

And One Fine Morning...: Istanbul
http://postgradstillrad.blogspot.com/2012/04/if-theres-any-place-in-turkey-youve-got.html
And One Fine Morning. Thursday, 26 April 2012. If there's any place in Turkey you've got to go, it's Istanbul. Somewhere around 16 million people call this continent-crossing province home. At risk of sounding like a travel agent- Istanbul has got it all. Roman and Ottoman History seeps from every crack in the pavement. Modern stores and businesses cased in modern architecture keep the city current (Starbucks? Pre-cruise view from our boat. Next, we made our way to Dolmabahçe Sarayı (Filled Garden Palace...

And One Fine Morning...: Washing Machine
http://postgradstillrad.blogspot.com/2012/05/washing-machine.html
And One Fine Morning. Sunday, 13 May 2012. Our washing machine is very old and sometimes it doesn't like to work. Through trial and error we've found that brute force is the most successful tactic. I can hear my roommate kicking it right now. Let's show that washing machine who is boss. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://slipperyhamam.blogspot.com/2011/11/sunshine-to-snow.html
Indiana James and the Slippery Hamam. Misadventures from the Orient. Monday, November 14, 2011. Bellapais Monastary, Girne, Cyprus. Adnan, EB, and I flew into Kuzey Kibris, or the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus on Sunday night (the actual holi day. Girne Harbor, Cyprus. On a tip from some German girls at the hostel, we rented a car for the last three days on the island, and it was a great decision! St Hillarion Castle, Cyrpus. Beautiful Girne harbor, and the Girne Kale. Fanatstic ruins at Salamis.
