World Hostel Reservations in Istanbul

Hey everyone! I am getting so excited for the reunion! It is less than a week away, yay!

I must let you know though that there has been some major confusion regarding reservations in Istanbul. I will also post this on facebook to ensure that no one misses this information.

I was under the impression that I was to book the hostel for everyone from June 17th until each person's date of departure (which should have been emailed to Iva). Those of you who were planning to come any earlier would be responsible for making your own reservation or personal plans for accommodation before the 17th of June. I will be confirming the following reservations by Wednesday at the latest. If there is a discrepancy in this list and your plans, please email the hostel and let them know the dates you are planning to stay. I know a few people have already made reservations with them over email and it has worked quite well.


Reservation List (name/number of people/ dates of reservation):

-Basillio /1/ June 17 - 23
-Carmen /2/ June 17 -22
-Tsveti /1/ June 17 - 20
-Aakash /4/ June 17 - 23
- Monica /1/ June 17 - 23
-Ashfaque /1/June 18 - 23
-Maarten /1/ June 17 -23
-Naterce/1/ June 17 - 23
-Megan /1/ June 17 - 23
-Aneta /1/ June 17-19
-Jan /1/ June 17-18
-Iva /1/ June 17 - 21

Please note: This list does not reflect reservations made by you personally. I know that Tsveti, Aneta and Cristiano, for instance, have made personal reservations for June 16th. These are just the reservations I have made for the group. If you need to make a reservatioın for the 16th or anytime before the 17th, please contact the hostel directly. They work well over email.

Istanbul - Pure Magic

Pure magic phenomenon – this is Istanbul. Time travel doesn’t exist, they say and yet each time I view a photograph, review a memory or say the city’s name – I do time travel, at least that’s how it feels. For a city, entwined with its past Ottoman history and 21st developments, traditional routines with modern lifestyles, holding its strong eastern past as it heads into its western future – in the midst of all of this, it is easy to feel lost.

Lost for all the memories passed before this moment and lost for all the exciting, hopeful and questionable future. And yet all one has to do is gaze at (or think about) this body of water - the Bosphorus. In its overwhelming beauty the complete awe and wonder of the world befalls you departing a calm joy, in reminder that it is not lost. It is here with you, slightly different than before, just as you have evolved.

Istanbul 2007 – the reunion with 20 something of my friends from all parts of this world shared in such a strong memorable experience that we have realized our vision to reunite once more in this magical city to share our stories and rediscover the city that we left two years ago. Istanbul – I am ready to meet once again.

For my friends – 603 united we live, travel and dream.
