Hello and welcome to my new blog! In Turkish, "kebap gibi bir hayat" means, 'life like a kebab'--in other words, a totally sweet existence. We who find ourselves lucky enough to stay in Istanbul, whether it be for the short or the long-term, know exactly what they're talking about. Make way New York: you may have a serious case of insomnia, but we're pretty sure this city hasn't been slept for about 1500 years now. (Maybe that's why people drink so much tea and Turkish coffee.)
I am writing for a variety of reasons: to share my observations and discoveries around the city; to chronicle my experiences with establishing a life here as a self-proclaimed immersed expat and hopefully help someone(s) else figure things out the easy way; and to connect with other wannabe Istanbullus who will hopefully share their valuable insight and experience as well.
Enjoy and have a lovely fall!
