Telefon

After our first Turkish lesson (and lunch), most of the students had to leave to get chest X-rays. It seems, if you are going to live in the public dorms, they need a chest X-ray to make sure you don't have Tuberculosis. The private dorms (like mine) do not have such an issue. Either way, it gave me a free day and I went with a host student to buy a cell phone. We searched the cell phone shops of Kisilay, then a bazaar, and eventually a mall where we were successful.

It's not much, but it cost 45 YTL which is about...33 USD. Now, I need a SIM card for it to work, but for the time being it makes a great paper weight.
