Yay weekend!

Wow, how about that Milan/Liverpool game, eh? My friend Walid had flown into Istanbul just a day or two before, and he decided to stay in Istanbul for the match. I saw some of his pictures, and Taksim square just looked like a sea of red! He was telling people he had flown from Tunisia just for the match, so they were all really excited. I'll post some photos as soon as I get my hands on them.

I finally went and saw the new Star Wars Movie (in English). Actually, the beginning was in Turkish, which had us English speakers a little nervous at first, but thankfully the rest of the film was in English with Turkish subtitles. phew. I wonder how many people around the world will be having Star Wars movie marathons when that one comes out on DVD. Or how many people are having them now with pirated copies. :)

Last night we welcomed the three new arrivals to Bursa. It was a nice little arrival, if I do say so myself. None of the other trainees met them last night, but tonight should be pretty fantastic. So many of the trainees, and of course the new ones, are going to all go out to this bar called Cacaron. Before that, though, I'm going to take them for a little stroll around Bursa and pretend I know what the hell I'm talking about. :)
