You know you're an Istanbul trainee when...

I recently posted on my blog "You know you're in Costa Rica when..) and thought it would be cool to do the same for this blog so here it is my 5 cents to start the list....

You know you're an Istanbul trainee when....

You are so broke that you do the following to save a lira:

1. cook for 2 hours every night
2. walk considerable distances and fucking hills instead of hopping in a taxi or bus
3. consider playing guitar on Istiklal to collect donations
4. consume as much Efes and Freddy as possible before heading out on the town and only agreeing to go to clubs that don't charge cover
5. pretend to be an Istanbul trainee so that you can sleep in the dorms

you know your an istanbul trainee when:

1. 2 liras is all your willing to pay for a tavuk dorum.
2. you've stolen things from public or private places with the help of a certain crazed Portuguese friend
3. when you've gotten pick-pocketed/mugged/assaulted in Istanbul
