Priscilla in Istanbul

Hi!! I'll be writing about my internship at Fiba Gayrimenkul (Fiba real estate) and life in Istanbul. Feel free to comment on anything :)

I'm back from Mersin! It took me forever to get there and return, so my stay there was really extremely short. In fact, I only had 1 full day there.

My friend and I started our trip at 9.30pm on Saturday night, but we only reached her home at 5pm on Sunday. We took a shuttle bus to the Grand Central of buses, took a bus for 14 hours before reaching Mersin, took a shuttle bus to another part of Mersin and finally another shuttle bus to her home. We were feeling so tired that we took a nap the moment we reached her house.

My friend told me that this is her summer home. She lives in the city area of Mersin, but during the summer, it gets too hot there, so her family will move to the cooler mountains.

The next day, we spent the morning going around the village in a car.

We also spent a lot of time making food and eating them.

Barbeque!
Lunch outside!
After the heavy lunch at 4pm, we went for a walk.

Feeding goats and cows :)Gathering flowers!

And spent the night watching tv and staring at stars. I saw a shooting star for the first time in my life too.

The next day, my friend and I left her house early. My bus ride is at 6pm, but I need to get to the city. We were in the city early, so we walked around and my friend also brought me around to meet her friends.

After that, I got on the shuttle bus which brought me to the bus back to Istanbul. The ride was shorter, but it still took around 12 hours. I only got home at 630am the next day. Tired but fun :)
