Dirty Laundry

after a week and ahalf abroad, here it is: The Travel Blog. I haven't been anywhere near blogspot since highschool, but I hope to make a habit of dumping thoughts, pictures and moleskine scribblings here while I'm abroad. Check back regularly and maybe it will get interesting.

I think it's actually fitting that I start this now, I'd rather the first few days of logisitical frustrations, heat, and one or two especially awkward people be mere anecdotes than full blown journal entries. For now, I have moved on past all that and settled into my wonderful flat (read: wonderful after the two motherly, Turkish cleaning ladies had their way with the place. I really wish I had a picture of them.) and feel much more comfortable with my surroundings in this beautiful and beguiling city.

I do however, have some photos of the flat:


Here we have various views from various windows (my balcony is cool but man, oh man, if I had that one across the street...), the kitchen, and my roomate. His name Guillaume, his interests include reading, and being French.
