Boat Trip

Magda (from Germany) and I have officially discovered the beauty of doing absolutely nothing on a Saturday. I sat on the 7th floor terrace overlooking a good portion of Istanbul for 3 - 4 hours trying to study Turkish, but in reality staring off into the distance reflecting on various things. I knew I was supposed to relax in order to get better, and I did, but I was a little unsure if I'd be sick again after sitting in the sun for so long followed by the craziest boat trip ever.

AIESEC Istanbul in attempting to foster better relations with their alumni organized a Bosphorous boat trip on Saturday night. Most of the trainees went along with a good number of LC members. There were about 20 alumni present, including some older alumni, one of which was MCP of Turkey for 4 years, and did a traineeship in Indiana.

The LC bought a crap load of beer and vodka and boy was it a sight to see. To make a long story short, we toured the Bosphorous for a good 4.5 hours, and by the time we docked at Besiktas at midnight, we were carrying people off this boat, including everyone's favorite Mehmet (VPF of Istanbul) who literally couldn't walk. I know I've seen it plenty of times, but drinking and partying together with people from multiple countries is arguably the most enjoyable thing on the planet.
