i liked, i disliked. i've been happy and sad, one or two tears lots of laugh. maybe i fell a little in love, i bought lots of fruit. i pet som dogs and were afraid of cats. i stole stuff from nightclubs, a handfull of hangovers and alot of partying. i've been studying my ass off and skipping school. i went to alanya and i red lots of books. i've been drunk. i waved several times to the local barbershop and been jogging near the bosphorus. i've been off-the-cuff spontaneous and met new people. i kissed pretty boys, handed out my telephone number. refused calls, responded calls. lots of more. i did not say goodbye. i did say see you later. this is the first chapter of istanbul.
