First some pictures which was missing in my last messages :
This is my flatmates with, in order :
Rebecca, Erasmus slovakian student, maybe the most quiet in the group, and realy nice :
Rebecca live in the same room with Anlame, turkish, student too, which open mind and good mood make her someone very pleasant... if she stay more than 5 minutes on her chair without moving :
Johanna, french, erasmus student too, is studying geopolitic in the middle east. Enthousiastic, I think it's the younger in the flat :
And there is Zivile : photographer, vintage nickless maker to sell it on Internet, this girl is always in good mood, helpful, and her english is very funny : How are you, Zivile ? Yes ! - My name is Gauthier - Yes ! - Are you for or against Obama ? - Yes... very funny ! But It is her who lend me her computer where I write this message.
Thank you Zivile ! - Yes !
Then Younes : from Marrocco, loving France after a few years spend in Paris, this guy is a "live wire" from everytime ! Studying economy in Galatasaray (where is formed the Turkish elite), this is Mr atmosphere :
And me... but you know.
I forgot to present you my pupil, Yohanna : she is the daughter of a famous football player, Rigobert Song, Who play today in a turkish club, Trapzon.
At 6 years old, mademoiselle know what she wants, but she's got a good tempered, and everything is OK !
There is an avantage to live with students : I meet other students.
Thanks Younes, I met Sébastien (left) and Aurélien (right) :
The first one studies economy with Younes, the second is in philosophie. But above all. we have together a beard and long hair... ;-)
Younes, Sébastien, Aurélien, Johanna, me, and other passing people, this form a french group and don't help to speak english or turkish, but lets spend some super parties !!!
Now, what about my daily activities ?
Just one obligation : Yohanna's teach. Generaly about 5 p.m., I need more than one hour to go and an other to go back. It's theoccasion for me to train a little myself with half past an hour of walk and about 300 steps in the metro 2 by 2 on the feet toe, héhé !
But it's suffiscient for a long day. To start, I wake up late, like ) a.m. or more if the night was short. Then I spend the time between cleaning the flat, reading, and internet. For that, I have got the choice between take a PC from one of my flatmates, or gogo out in a internet shop on Istiklal.
What is Istiklal ? It's a street name, but a very imprtant street ! It's as popularas Champs Elysées in Paris, and have the same function. I heard between Friday and Sunday, there was about 3 million people passing there in normal time ! You don't trust me ? Have a look on this picture :
At the end of this street, you arrive on a bridge on the "Golden Horn", which separate the west side in two parts, north (ancient occidental parts reserved before to the italian people) and south (where is the sultan palace). On this bridge, there is all the day a large cohort of fishermen fiching some sardines :
Smoke is dangerous...
And thereis some more extras. For example, Younes suggested meto gowith him in Galatasaray university for a conference gived by the ancient prime minister and actual european deputy Michel Rocard !
Subject : Turkie in Europe. Really interesting, but the most funny is I made the photo coverage for Younes who was trying to have a dedication for his last book : so I visit all the university, catching everything... And after the meeting, Younes and me were ready for the next picture :
Maybe there will be other VIP before marsh, héhéhé...
I have been invited in a concert : electro music in oriental mix with electric cythare (not guitare) and belly dance...strange but fun !
So, everything allright
Iyi Gunler !!!
