The World's Most Expensive Used Bicycle

The bike finally made it.  I won't go into too many details, mostly because I don't know where to even begin, but the process involved 3 days of going out to the airport to go to different customs offices, DHL offices, and DHL warehouses.  Once I finally got the box, it was really satisfying to take the who thing out of the box, put it together in front of a crowd of DHL employees, and ride off into the sunset.  A lot of bizarre things happened over the course of getting the bike out of the customs, too many to recount here, so you'll just have to wait 'til I get home... Which I'll be doing NEXT SATURDAY!

Also, I think I'll be updating the blog on Sundays from now on, so that way everybody knows when they can check it to get some news on my trip.

The first week of school was good.  I was moved up to the high school program, but then moved right back down to Kindergarten.  So yes, Uncle Pete, I guess I was laterally promoted and demoted in the course of a couple of days.  I had my first true, Turkish made Lahmacun on Friday.  It was delicious, it's kind of like a flatbread pizza with minced meat and spices... very good.  They drink Ayran with it, a weird watered down yogurt drink.  I haven't tried that yet, though.  Okay... see you guys soon!
