Watching from Afar
November 7, 2008

Anti-American imagery is something we see often these days but, despite this familiarity, I was particularly disturbed when seeing the real thing last Sunday. The group we marched with in no way represented the mainstream views of the Turkish people but from the reactions of the onlookers it was clear that their message wasn’t exactly rejected.
Election day was fantastic. We had a large party in the center of Istanbul and watched with many fellow interested Americans. For more info on that, please check out DAMARIS KREMIDA’s fantastic article in Hurriyet- HERE.
If you’ve read my article (HERE) in today’s Cornell Sun I thank you, and welcome any questions or comments below. If not, I think it may be worth a look-through.
It’s been a long week and I promise more content coming up, stay tuned for future updates.

Hey,
I came across your column in the Daily Sun – googling something about Istanbul, can’t remember what – that led me to your blog and I just wanted to let you know this is great insight for me. I just got accepted to study abroad at Bogazici this upcoming Spring Semester and I’m thrilled! I’m voraciously trying to learn everything I can about Turkey and it’s nice to see an exchange student’s perspective. I’ll keep an eye on your blog and the rest of your column (as creepy as that sounds – but it’s on the internet, right?)
