I can’t wait until the Borat movie comes out, due for release on November 3rd (in the US and UK). Here is a deleted scene:
Don’t know who Borat is? He is a “Kazakhstani TV personality.”
I’ll post more videos upon request!
That my Lufthansa flight had free Internet, but I used up all of my battery during my 6-7 hour layover in Munich. Only about 10 minutes to go…
but Internet in the air? Cool! 😛
Is run by Vodafone who will charge you 5.95 Euro (or roughly 13 dollars) for every 30 minutes online. One of the most expensive I’ve ever come across.
You’ve been warned!
I’m in the airport now waiting for the Lufthansa counter to open up. I arrived to watch the sunset here this morning – quite an impressive site. They’ve been playing American 80s music and the place is deserted, except for this guy on my right who is killing off his second large beer (at 8am)!
I must admit I considered it too.
I wish I had a camera to take paparazzi photos like Cousin Bucur’s site, but it ran out of batteries weeks ago. I’ve got some pretty interesting army stories when I get back.
It was funny when I arrived – I don’t have any paper tickets due to some changes in my flight schedule, so half deaf from my ears being blocked up I went to the Lufthansa counter. It went something like this:
What time is your flight?
Ah…good question, I don’t know. I’m going to Washington, can’t you tell me?
What time is the flight?
Hmmm…I think 12.
Then some confusion and we finally figured it out. That is if I heard everything correctly :?? If not I’ll be having beer and shnitzel for lunch 😉 The lady was all pissy.
Okay, so the beer drinker just came over to ask me how I got online. Turns out he’s Turkish and his name is Erol. Erol likes beer. Germany is cool that way.
Updates to come soon – my weeks in the army, the places I got to see in Ankara, and your usual travel advice/random info. Okay, I’m running out of Internet credits so I’m out!
Heading back to the States is always difficult – but this time more so than before 🙁
…but opportunities await, and the only thing between Point A and Point B is yourself.
I miss everyone already 😥
The past three days of bayram ended yesterday here in Turkey. You can read all about it here, but I thought it would be a good time to introduce you to Tom Brosnahan. I had the opportunity to meet him last year – he wrote the first travel guide on Turkey after his first trip there in the 60s as a member of the Peace Corps.
He has since written many good books about Turkish traveling, life, and culture – but it’s his website that really caught my eye. It gives any information you could want about Turkey from an American point of view – the questions he asks are the ones most people think of first:
