Moving!

After almost 4 months in 101 aka 603, as some of you know the time has come for us to move on. It seems that the dorm administration is hell bent on throwing us out, from the 6th floor to the 1st floor, now from the 1st floor to the room next to the security guards. There are 16 beds in that room, 8 will be for girls and 8 for guys, its perhaps going to be the worst quality of life (even worse than kasim pasha i think) but the positive side is that one enclosure has natural light and a glass roof, so we will always have natural light unlike the kasim pasa dorms. There was chaos at 2 am on a thursday night when we got to know this was going to happen. The useless administration informs us and says you have to move rooms in one day, ie is move to that god forsaken room on Friday, was interesting to observe the cultural differences in the way people reacted, here are some realtime examples:

The Tunisian made a banner saying 'We will stay here, We wont leave' or something to that effect
The American first charged the turks of being assholes, threaten to leave, and then acted as the representative of the trainees to talk to the administation to solve the dispute
The Brazilian was on 'Vacation'
The British was not bothered with what was going on because he is leaving in 3 days
The Romanians were spreading the news around about what was happening
The Two indians were gossiping about everyone else and having a good laugh and then slept, thinking we will think about this tomorrow!

Anyways, to sum up, there are challenging times ahead with 16 people in a room, but on the positive side, that is going to bring everyone together, bring back the spirit that has been recently lacking.

45 more days in Istanbul, the countdown has begun!
