Hello blog friends!
I haven’t been able to update much because blogger has been banned in Turkey. This is because people were illegally broadcasting soccer games through their blogs, so Turkey blocked the whole system...they are serious about their futbol!
I’m having my friend Ali post this for me (thanks Ali).
So my first impressions of izmir were not good, actually. I thought the city was a little dirty and not my style. But then a couchsurfer friend took me around to other parts of izmir and I found them fascinating and beautiful. So...in the next few days I have a decision to make. Being, can I call this home? Do I want to live here for a year?
I am past the point of homesickness and have met some lovely people already. I know I can create a good friend base here. So that’s not the issue at all.
But I want to make sure I’m choosing to live in a city I adore, and not just live in a city because it’s different. This requires a little more exploring on my part.
So this is where I stand. Either way, I know I will have made the right choice...I can only do what’s best for Ashley!
P.S. Because blogger is blocked, if you have a blogger blog, I can’t read yours :( Wish I could!!!
