Piknik

Probably the best day I've had so far. My department organized a picnic (which seems to be a very Turkish thing), and we enjoyed amazing food, football, dancing, guns (haha), and conversations for more than 10 hours. This day was a day of many firsts, including my first relatively long conversation in Turkish, and my first taste of liver (in the form of what I call a liver burrito).

The day really brought me closer together with my department, and I discovered that even older, out of shape, Turkish smokers can woop my ass in football. I was just having a fun time on the field but everyone was taking the game so seriously! My coworkers even started fighting over the game! I thought it was hilarious, but they didn't find it too funny.
