Last week was my birthday. It was also the last week of my case. Ergo, I was in the office til 11:30pm on my birthday. Less than ideal.
BUT, I made up for that on the weekend with an impromptu trip to Turkey. FlyDubai, a discount carrier, offers round-trip tickets for $250.
Istanbul is a pretty awesome city. It doesn't quite defeat Beirut on my favorite cities quite yet, but it's mixture of history and contemporary culture are appreciated.
I'll be posting a few things over the coming days on my time there. For now, I leave you with a couple of my favorite photos:
Me in front of my favorite Istanbul mosque
The Hagia Sophia, as seen from Galata Tower, with the Golden Horn in the foreground and the Sea of Marmara behind
