My farewell


My Farewell party started off at home and finished at bad leak(Pub).The night was great with all of us drunk and going crazy in the pub.It dint feel like my farewell at all because all of us had so much fun.

Even though the night was great the week was not.I am struggling to get my visa.Hopefully,I get it in a few days or else will have to postpone my Europe trip and go back home to india.

Seven Months

It seems like yesterday when I came here but seven months have passed and so many thing have happened.Time has gone so fast and I cant believe I will be leaving Mersin in 2 weeks.

I felt like a kid when I came here dint know the language,people and everything was so very different.After seven months I know a bit of Turkish and I have friends here and things have changed.I have had a fantastic experience.

There is going to be a solar eclipes in Turkey on the 28th of march at 2 pm and my last trip in Turkey would to a place on the path of totality.

The Week

The week started off with loads work in office and has ended with work actually not quite still one more day to go.My salsa is getting better and next week will be the last week of my salsa class.I am actually enjoying my classes but cannot continue as I will have to make plans and prepare for my Europe trip.

I will be going to Ankara on Thursday to apply for my visa.I plan to make it a day trip.Take a overnight bus and get back the next day after applying for my visa.Joe is back in mersin.He has brought me a lonely planet book(Europe on a shoestring) and an authenic aboriginal boomarang from Australia. Thanks Joe.

Tonight me,Joe and Peter(Joe's Australian friend) will be going out for a drink.It should be fun.This week nothing interesting happened.I hope the last few weeks that I am in Turkey turn out to be a little more interesting.

Latin Night's

This week i was very busy with loads of work in office.Salsa classes are going on well but iam not good at it. I guess I need to put in more effort.The weather in mersin is getting better by the day.Its getting warmer and the daytime temperature is in the early 20's.

Our salsa club organizes Latin nights very Friday so I went last night.The entry was 5 bucks and no drinks.The theme was salsa so they played only salsa music and people who knew salsa well showed their salsa skills.Our dance teacher was in full flow showing off his skills and all the complex salsa steps.The party was interesting and the place where the party was held was cool.If you asked me if, I would be going to Latin night again. I would have second thoughts about it.
