Teaching
I've landed my first teaching job! I went for an interview and 5 hours later I was standing in front of a class. Standing in front of my first class gave me new appreciation for what my parents did for 30 some odd years. It was quite nervewracking, but it all turned out well. The students are great for the most part. I've had four separate classes now and it is only getting easier. I'm working for the American Cultural Association school, and I'm told they "pay on time" which is not the norm for the teaching profession here in Istanbul.
Here are a couple of shots in Istanbul.

an armenian church in kadikoy, on the asian side of Istanbul. We tried to get in, but the church is closed
