Izmir'deyim

I am in Izmir! My originally accommodation plans changed at the last moment, but it was for the better. A few days ago I found out that the dorm that I was going to stay at would be unavailable for the last two weeks that I was in Izmir, so they offered another dorm or a room in an apartment of a Graduate student. I took the room in the Apartment. I am staying with a very nice and cool guy named Ozgun, the apartment is nice and it has AC, which neither of the dorms had. And it is walking distance to my class! Plus I have someone who is not only a native speaker but a linguist to speak Turkish with every day. I am in a part of Izmir called Buca, which is not very scenic, but the food is cheap and good and it is easy to get to other parts of Izmir.  I plan to leave for Bergama tomorrow.
