HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I AM BACK!!!
I haven't been saying anything because I have been busy at work and at university! So here is a quick update of my life since last time I wrote here...

October 2006 : Graduated from university after an awful trainingship in Spain! It made me remeber you guys at Istanbul! Una mierda... pero ahora hablo castellano!
Mid-October 2006: Job at the communication department of a Regional Energy Agency created by the European Union. "How cool it is!"
November 2006: Work is fine
December 2006: Beginning of a workaholic life
January - March 2007: Workaholic life
February 2007: Began a post graduation "Human Rights and Democracy" - Interesting but hard! It will be finished in the beginning of June! ThankSSSSS GODDDD!!!!!

***April 2007***
!BACK TO SOUTH SPIRIT!


May 2007: Graduation party at Coimbra... Here is the pic of me and my best friend Ana. We didn't meet Fredy on our way but we were kind of drunk!
How cool we are on this pic, don't you think??!
Check more pics in mi HI5 profile


Now, (eventhough I am back to the south spirit) here are my plans for the ISTANBUL REUNION....
YES!!!!!!!!! I have booked all the plane tickets and for really good prices!!!!

So... I haven't everything already planed but here are the first dates. I will write the BIG plan on my blog and send you the link so that you can read it...

Between 7th (Holidays in Portugal) and 10th of June (Nacional Holiday) -- Leaving Portugal to Morocco. I still don't know the exact date because of many things... it will depend on my post graduation exam (whether it is on the 2nd or the 9th of June); It will also depend on whether Basilio can come or not (he will arrive at Madrid on 8th June) and finally I am trying to convince a friend from my hometown -Carlos- to come because he has holidays from work that week.
14th June: Leaving Morocco to London Luton (17 euros)
15th June: Leaving London Luton to ISTANBUL (Sabiha) (110 euros)
Between 22nd and 24th of June: Leaving Istanbul to Sofia by bus or by train
Between 27th and 29th of June: Leaving Sofia to Bucharest by bus
On 2nd July: Leaving Bucharest to Madrid by plane (157 euros)
3rd July: Back Home!!!!! Time to work!


So here is my plan for the «Adventure Summer 2007 - I am the size of what I see» ! It's ambitious but I am getting ready!
A last point before I forget... About accomodation at Istanbul... please let's choose the cheapest! I would choose the hostel! Oh, and Iva, congratulations and THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the efforts you have been doing for all of us!

Now, a last question... anybody wants to join my adventure?

****HUGS****

Pix of the apartments














On accomodation again..

Just wanted to add some info about the hostel, in case we end up staying there:
it's the only one in Taksim (near Montreal, so very close to everything), I reserved 20 spaces there for the week. It would be 15 lira per person (18 with breakfast)

waiting for everyone's reply

Found an apartment, need feedback!!!

Evryone, the reunion is approaching and I seriously need to know who is coming and your feedback to the bellow. This is the best I could find. I will be travelling in Iran for the next 10 days but will need to give an answer to Nesli as soon as I come back.
So everyone who would like to stay in the apartment, please send me an email or post a comment, if I have 20 ppl in the next 10 days, I will take it, otherwise we are staying in a hostel.

Let me know!

PS - I couldn't open the pictures, I will post them as soon as I get them.

Dear Iva,
Hope you are doing good.
Uploaded the photos, you can find them as attached.There you will see 2 different flats in the same building in Cihangir area. Just behind the German Hospital and 5 min walk to Istiklal Street. Live and safe neighbourhood. The flats are about 110 m2. Air conditioning, satellite and cable TV, telephone(active for incoming calls only), 24/7 hot water, refrigerator, gas stove, washing machine, iron and ironing board are in use. The cleaning will be done before your check in and will not be done again during your stay. These two flats are available between 17-24 June 2007. The total rent is US$ 3,500.00 for two flats, 7 nights. You said you would be 20 together; therefore it’s US$ 25.00 each night each person.

The roof, ideal for 5 pax
- Furnished 2 bedroom sea view flat
- 2 double beds and extra one on the floor
- Equipped kitchen with balcony (it’s cool!)
- Bathroom with bathtub

Second floor, ideal for 6 pax
- Furnished 3 bedroom flat
- 2 double beds, one single and extra one on the floor
- Equipped kitchen no balcony
- Bathroom with bathtub

I seek a lot, there is no big place for 20 and no individual price like this. This is a real bargain. You can also rent one flat only but I do not recommend. Because I told the landlord that you guys would be around 10-12, plus many guests. If your comings and goings call his attention and if he attempts to count you and if he counts you 20... No matter! You have 2 flats and modarate number guests for each flat. But if you have one flat at that time... Oops! Be sure that it would not please him. We should not forget that he has the rights to dismiss you.Awaiting for your comments.
Any question, I am here ;)
Loves,Nesli
