(I've never actually been to Kansas. I've been to Nebraska five years ago. Lost my passport at the airport. Good old days.)"Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."
I have managed to transport excessive amounts of luggage from Enschede to Istanbul. Seriously, the stuff I took with me weighs amount half as much as I do, so that's an increase of 50 % (took me a while to calculate that). Now I do however enjoy the company of my wonderful guitar while I'm here. The guys at the airport put a "fragile" sticker on the case. I felt like they actually cared. Until I found that same case lying somewhere on a pile together with other luggage at the airport in Istanbul. Don't worry, the guitar is fine.
My flight was quite pleasant, they even served beer on the plane. I've never been so high while drinking. They didn't have vegetarian food though, but still, I'd choose Turkish Airlines again, just for the beer.
Someone once told me that I shouldn't use people's names in blog posts. Fine!
A person I knew picked me up at the airport. That was really helpful, since Turkey obviously is a confusing country and Istanbul is a confusing city (especially for people who get lost as easily as I do). Luckily for me, that person has a car and was kind enough to drive me and my luggage and my beloved guitar to the place where I'm going to stay for the semester. Again, thanks a lot for that!
I live together with a really nice Turkish guy, and the university is within walking distance, which is convenient, since I'm used to that from my home university. Next step will be testing the bed though, because I'm really tired. Good night, 
Nice! How's the first day?
