Wireless in Istanbul!
Thursday, May 11, 2006

So, I've been in the boonies for several weeks, as in very little internet and no English-speaking news or TV or connections at all. Just me and my fanfic and my heavy drinking geologist friends, some lovely mountains with fascinating rocks to play with, but bad weather so it's been heavy on the fic, light on the fieldwork...

Anyway, on my way home now and (lucky me) I have a 6 hour layover in Istanbul, the airport with no outlets. But, after much searching, I found a very quiet deserted spot with a table by an outlet and - who knew? Free wireless!

I think I'm picking it up from the Airport Hotel business center. (It may be all over the airport, I haven't tried anywhere else, but somehow I doubt it...)

So, if you're ever stuck in the Istanbul Airport, go to the lobby of the Airport Hotel, to the tiny deserted lobby bar. It's the spot to be!

BTW, I'm working on finishing my fic, hope to start posting in 1-2 weeks! It's wicked long, and goes many places that surprised me. Can't wait to share!

Yours truly in Turkey -

Woo-hoo! No I'm in London, but this time I'm paying for internet.

How's that history final, sass?

No speaking Turkish necessary, CMS. Never even left the airport, the city center's too far away to be worth the trip. Bummer - I've visited Istanbul before and it's super cool!

Sure will be nice to get home to my own bed, only ~12 hours to go...

I wanna go to Turkey, too!

I know a bit of Turkish, so that would be helpful. I can say hello and introduce myself and ask where the bathroom is and ask for bread and count to 10.

Merhaba! Ben Serenity!

I wanna go to Turkey!

But alas I'm stuck working on my history final . . . which needs to be done in 4.5 hours.

Eek!
