had the craziest weekend in a reallyyy long time. hung out alot, introduced new friends to old friends, got to know some of my new friends better, and met lots more new people. didn't get any work done, but well, had truckloads of fun, which made it all the more worthwhile!

yuhei and i were invited by my newly made turkish friend, yusa, over to his place to sample some turkish dishes that him and his roommates were cooking.

here's the japanese croquette that yuhei and his friend, mari made for us!

mahout (i'm really not too sure how to spell this), a turkish tomato based stew dish with lots of garbonzo beans and other stuff. the photo does not do the dish justice!

a meat dish. i have no idea whether it even has a name, haha. yusa taught us to use bread to soak up the oil around the base of the pan and then eat it. deeelicious.

group shot. (:

the story behind this shot was hilarious. we couldn't find a high enough spot to place the cameras so all the boys scrambled around the house, trying to find a way to do it.

one of them exclaimed, "we are civil engineers, we can do this!" (most of the turkish students are here to do a degree in civil engineering) and proceeded to get the rest to hoist up one huge table upon the coffee table. with the table perched precariously on top of the coffee table, we quickly huddled up to take this shot. ha.

flying to boston early tomorrow morning. happy thanksgiving, my loves!
