I'm leaving Istanbul in 8 hours! Can't believe 2 and a half months just gone by! I just finished packing and I'm really tired now :(

Anyway, for these 3 days, I was moved from the office to a desk at the end of a hallway as a new staff joined the International Office. I wasn't too excited about the move, but it turned out that sitting by the end of a hallway of professors' offices can be really fun. The professors would talk to me as they passed my desk, and so I kind of know all the professors now. A pity I was only there for 3 days :(

The people at the International Office were really kind to have lunch at a restaurant to mark the end of my internship, and they got a cake as well. I thought it was a pretty sad farewell, as I have got to know the people at the International Office quite well.

And since it was my last day in Istanbul, I decided to go on a little tour. I took the bus, rode on the ferry, then got on a tram, and finally a funicular to get to Istiklal (my favorite place). I could have just took a bus and got there, but I thought it would be nice to ride on all possible transportation to get to my favorite place :) And that was the last thing I did in Istanbul. (wanted to watch Harry Potter! but I didn't want to risk missing the last bus home)

Well, hopefully I can get to come back to Istanbul or Turkey again. There are some places which I have not visited in Istanbul, as well as many cities outside of Istanbul. And of course, to see the people I know in Istanbul :)

I'm really glad to have been living/interning in Istanbul :)

P.S. I took some pictures, but it's late and I'm sleepy, so I'll post them when I get back to Ann Arbor :)
