teaching tekirdağ: November 2010
http://alinturkey.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 29, 2010. The Trip to Trabzon Or, A polemic on the Turkish planning process. You know those weeks where nothing quite goes right? I mean, nothing really. Goes wrong, but man, nothing works the way it should. This has been a large part of my experience in Turkey. Moving to a new country is bound to have its emotional ups and downs and sure, each country has its quirks. In Turkey, nobody seems worried about paying us. Take my most recent trip to Trabzon…. And I have never been one to be ca...

teaching tekirdağ: January 2011
http://alinturkey.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 27, 2011. My first futbol maçı. So this past weekend my friends Sasha and Dane (both Fulbrighters) came to Istanbul before jetting off on their winter holidays. Sasha had a college friend also in town- Austin- who came via Israel with his cousin Phoebe. Is a kind recounting of what happened. Rumors abound that he is seeking to find out who booed him and to revoke their season passes, but again, Turks and their silly conspiracy theories. Ah, yes, bravo sir, well played sir.". When a Gala...

teaching tekirdağ: December 2010
http://alinturkey.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 29, 2010. So, I live in Turkey which means that I have to spend my holidays primarily in Turkey. And, while I am finally getting paid (woo hoo! I am not paid quite well enough to splurge on a flight back to the States, as tempting and as cliché as it may be to go home for the holidays. In the days leading up to the Birth of Christ, but since one of the only two entirely English channels we have here in the 'dağ is the BBC, we heard all about it. Kelsey and I carried on without her, mu...

http://alinturkey.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 30, 2010. I am teaching at a university but in a. Or prep-year. Depending on the university and department in which you wish to study, a proficiency in English is necessary. Because the language programs in most high schools (much like in the US) are quite substandard, many students fail to pass the entrance exam. These otherwise qualified students are then relegated to the. Where they receive 26 hours of English instruction per week for an entire academic year. Onstruction crews....

Tuesday, October 19, 2010. Well, last week was an important holiday. It was the 25th anniversary of Selen's birth so of course I made the trek to Istanbul.

teaching tekirdağ: Street Food
http://alinturkey.blogspot.com/2011/02/street-food.html
Monday, February 7, 2011. R ecently there was an article. So, being as enamored with food as I am, I don't know why I haven't written a post about food. I know I complain incessantly on this blog and I am sorry to those of you who continue to read despite my negativity. If I look a little more rolly than when I came here, its because of the delectable street food that is both dirt cheap and absolutely delicious. Another great, fresh refreshment can be found at stands offering fresh pressed nar. Is one of...

teaching tekirdağ: I am not a spy.
http://alinturkey.blogspot.com/2011/01/i-am-not-spy.html
Sunday, January 16, 2011. I am not a spy. Every time I travel to a new place, I am always interested to see what people think about Americans. I am comfortable enough in my own identity to rarely be roused by the beliefs about my country from others. I think the US is a complex and diverse place and because of this, I can only expect that opinions will be equally diverse. They must be spies. Why not, right? 8220;54 American intelligence officers were brought to Turkey. They were put into posing as En...
