Living the Turkish Life

The title pretty much says it all, but this is my life in Istanbul, Turkey.

I promised months ago to put up pictures of my current apartment. I have my lovely Christmas tree up, so I figured now was as good a time as any. A family came to look at my apartment today, and may buy it. I would of course live here until the end of my contract (July/August), but after that I may be asked to leave. That make me sad because I really love my apartment and would like to live here for another year, maybe longer. It is in a great location: 5 minute walk to Kadıköy central, ferry terminals, and a shopping mall, not to mention a bus stop at my doorstep. I have been thinking and praying about buying my home, but I have yet to find a possible way to do this. I can not take out a loan here or in the US (I have no job on paper), and I do not make enough money on my own. It would be a wonderful investment for the future due to the multi-billion dollar development plans they have for the area right across the street from me ( see the architect’s website ). Well… we will see, but in the meantime I hope you enjoy the tour!
