A NEW Experience

Ok so I feel like I have a lot to blog about so I will try to update a few times over the next few days.

Last saturday I went out with the English department at my school we went to a restaurant.  This restaurant really had a Mediterranean feel to it for me.  Basically the way it works was you pay 65 TRL and you get unlimited amount of drinks, wine, beer, and Raki (crazy alcohol drink, tastes like licorice) You also get unlimited amount of food.  They keep bringing dishes out to your table AND entertainment.

There were three different bands that night.  The first one was a guitarist and an accordion player.  Then there was the band with two guitarists and a singer.  And the last band was a full brass band.  It was such a neat experience.  The band was playing and everyone was Turkish dancing to the music.  Trust me when I tell you there is a difference.

I wish I had pictures for you but you will have to trust my explanation, because my camera is too bit to put in my pocket.  The table next to us was a wedding party, so that made the night even better to watch the Bride and Groom and all their friends so excited.  It was also an older woman's 88th birthday. It was such a great night we were there from 8pm till 1:30am It was just a really neat cultural experience, I'm glad I got to go.
