Tomorrow to Diyarbakir!

o ooooooh tomorrow morning i gotta wake up at 5am cos ima fly to diyarbakir with rasmus to visit the human rights foundation there :) wish me luck! im gonna take pics dont worry!

today i went to work and left early, as always... then i went to kizilay shopping center to complain about my phone cos i thought there was some rubbish like a small piece of paper inside the camera lens... and i couldnt get it off. so i went inside and told them i bought this yesterday and look whats inside blablabla... then everybody started looking and one of the sales clarks just removes the back cover and blows for a second and puts the cover back on! and thats it... i was so embarrassed!

then i went to take photos for visa, and then to fal cafe and taught cihan to play MÖLLIIIIIIIIIIIII! it was far from easy to find the cafe, even if it was so close to the shopping mall, like 400m away. so i was walking again with my huge map and asked somebody, then i said i wanna go to fal cafe, and fal means fortune. so this man takes me to wrong fortune telling place, then i managed to tell him that it was wrong and then he took me all the way back and was walking with me seriously like for 15min! ppl are so nice here, they always try to help! :)

Today was perfect!

I woke up late. And I was gonna go to church for the first time here, and I kind of didnt even know where it was... So first of all I left from home late, then I was wating for the bus so long. And while wating, some gasstation workers asked if I was married and were behaving really freaky. Then the bus came and saved me from them. So I took a look at my 1m x 1m map inside the bus, and finally understood where I should go off the bus. And told the driver to stop! Now I've learned it! Yippiee!
So I was standing there on the street with this huge map and stopping all the ppl and asking do you know this church! and they knew it! so i found there! And it was sooooo nice! seriously it couldnt have been better! And the people were so nice!
I was even handed lyrics to the songs and there I was.. singing in turkish! like i'd done it all my life! then I didnt understand the speech, but never mind! I'ma go there every single sunday, so maybe theres gonna be some progress. :) Then I talked to two so so so sweet girls there! Btw I arrived there 20min late, but suddenly they were also that late to start the service... I wonder if it was for me? Cos if there wasnt ppl standing outside the church i would never found it!

After that I went to work, and there was this meeting with 5 americans from Standforn university. So we sat for 3 hours but it was really interesting! And they left to Diyarbakir and I'm gonna go there on wednesday with my mentor and meet them again! So cool! :)

the Women's day demonstration

The women's day is much more celebrated here than it is in Sweden or Finland, or then I just haven't noticed. But it was a nice experience to see. We were even interviewed with my friend, unfortunately I dont remember anything what I said, but maybe it's best. Otherwise I'd still be thinking oh no why did I say this and that..

Here is one of the youngest attendants.






And this is some poster from the subway...

And the line map reminds me of the metro in helsinki....... :D

Hi everybody!

This is my usual breakfast... sometimes I eat yogurt with strawberries. I really think I should start to eat healthier; they have so many fruits in here and I think when the spring comes there is gonna be much more, Im especially waiting for the sour cherries. Luv them! We have a kitchen closet that is full of stuff that people has left in here, so far I have found some chili, black pepper AND candies! The candies were really hard and the expiring date on them was sometime in august THIS year so they must be really old. Dont candies last for like 1 year?


A couple of days ago Gio took me and my dear flatmates to a coffee place called Kuki. The place was really nice and fancy; a perfect chill out place for sitting and chatting and thats what we were doing for a couple of hours. It's also close to our flat, so I gotta bring Sara there when she comes.

They also have these amazing cakes, the picture is really bad but it's the nicest mermaid cake Ive ever seen!

And here is some greetings to my swedish friends ;) take care!

Joh. 4

[...6.]Kun nyt Jeesus oli matkasta väsynyt, istui hän lähteen reunalle. Ja oli noin kuudes hetki.
7. Niin tuli eräs Samarian nainen ammentamaan vettä. Jeesus sanoi hänelle: "Anna minulle juoda".
8. Sillä hänen opetuslapsensa olivat lähteneet kaupunkiin ruokaa ostamaan.
9. Niin Samarian nainen sanoi hänelle: "Kuinka sinä, joka olet juutalainen, pyydät juotavaa minulta, samarialaiselta naiselta?" Sillä juutalaiset eivät seurustele samarialaisten kanssa.
10. Jeesus vastasi ja sanoi hänelle: "Jos sinä tietäisit Jumalan lahjan, ja kuka se on, joka sinulle sanoo: 'Anna minulle juoda', niin sinä pyytäisit häneltä, ja hän antaisi sinulle elävää vettä."
11. Nainen sanoi hänelle: "Herra, eipä sinulla ole ammennusastiaa, ja kaivo on syvä; mistä sinulla sitten on se elävä vesi?
12. Et kai sinä ole suurempi kuin meidän isämme Jaakob, joka antoi meille tämän kaivon ja joi siitä, hän itse sekä hänen poikansa ja karjansa?"
13. Jeesus vastasi ja sanoi hänelle: "Jokainen, joka juo tätä vettä, janoaa jälleen,
14. mutta joka juo sitä vettä, jota minä hänelle annan, se ei ikinä janoa; vaan se vesi, jonka minä hänelle annan, tulee hänessä sen veden lähteeksi, joka kumpuaa iankaikkiseen elämään".
15. Nainen sanoi hänelle: "Herra, anna minulle sitä vettä, ettei minun tulisi jano eikä minun tarvitsisi käydä täällä ammentamassa".
16. Jeesus sanoi hänelle: "Mene, kutsu miehesi ja tule tänne".
17. Nainen vastasi ja sanoi: "Ei minulla ole miestä". Jeesus sanoi hänelle: "Oikein sinä sanoit: 'Ei minulla ole miestä',
18. sillä viisi miestä sinulla on ollut, ja se, joka sinulla nyt on, ei ole sinun miehesi; siinä sanoit totuuden."
19. Nainen sanoi hänelle: "Herra, minä näen, että sinä olet profeetta.
20. Meidän isämme ovat kumartaen rukoilleet tällä vuorella; ja te sanotte, että Jerusalemissa on se paikka, jossa tulee kumartaen rukoilla."
21. Jeesus sanoi hänelle: "Vaimo, usko minua! Tulee aika, jolloin ette rukoile Isää tällä vuorella ettekä Jerusalemissa.
22. Te kumarratte sitä, mitä ette tunne; me kumarramme sitä, minkä me tunnemme. Sillä pelastus on juutalaisista.
23. Mutta tulee aika ja on jo, jolloin totiset rukoilijat rukoilevat Isää hengessä ja totuudessa; sillä senkaltaisia rukoilijoita myös Isä tahtoo.
24. Jumala on Henki; ja jotka häntä rukoilevat, niiden tulee rukoilla hengessä ja totuudessa."
25. Nainen sanoi hänelle: "Minä tiedän, että Messias on tuleva, hän, jota sanotaan Kristukseksi; kun hän tulee, ilmoittaa hän meille kaikki".
26. Jeesus sanoi hänelle: "Minä olen se, minä, joka puhun sinun kanssasi".
