New Apartment

This is our new kitchen.  As you can see... we went from really big to kinda small (cozy, I'd say).

I'm not going to mention the Situation That Cannot Be Named, but I will post some pictures of our new apartment.  Much like our place in Prague, it's located on a giant hill near a small football stadium.  As you can see from the pictures, it's "sparsely" furnished, so I'm sure we'll be taking a trip to Ikea to get some more Stuff for it.  Oh, and it's dirty (but I've been cleaning!).

The kitchen (pictured above) opens up into this small dining room area.  We have a little balcony outside, which is really nice for watching neighborhood kids, drinking coffee, and hanging laundry.

This is the living room... messy.  Oh, we've got a TV though, and we have like 300 channels (a few which are even in English)!

Bedroom.  It looks small because it is small.  But, I mean, it's a bedroom.

And a bathroom.  Also small.  But ya know what?  All the furnishing are new, the landlords are awesome, and the price is right.  And I'm close to the metro and close to the bar/restaurant/gringo part of town, so speaking little to no Turkish isn't a huge problem.

Oh yeah, I also finally got my bike from DHL, which required no less that 5 hours of traveling around in DHL trucks/taxis/helpful peoples' cars.  But it's done! And I've discovered that it's possible to ride all the way to the black sea(!).  I'll post more this coming week.  I miss you guys a lot, and really wish I could be home.
