Up at 07:00. Finished watching Lagos Wide and Close configured with the Wide angle and Rem Koolhaus' commentary. Will watch it again in the future with the Close angle and the local perspective. Got my blog entry put together at the house before heading down to the Kumquat. Picked up my laundry and settled in at the Kumquat. Not long thereafter it started to rain. Throughout the morning it got progressively heavier. It died down around 11:30 and then picked up again around 12:30. Chatted with Asia for a bit and then headed back to the house during another break in the rain.
Had some lunch and read before going out with fALk and Willow to Eminönü to look for ingredients to make muesli. Hiked around the spice bazaar from 16:00 until 19:00. Had a long bus ride back as a major football (soccer) match was getting underway in Beşiktaş. The Turkish team was being well represented by the locals. After we passed the stadium, the team bus came from the opposite direction surrounded by a motorcycle motorcade with lights flashing and sirens blaring. We got off the bus and hiked back to the house, catching the beginning of another deluge.
During a break I headed back down to the Kumquat to meet with Michael about a press kit CD. The discussion turned to growing frustration with the situation in our collaboration. Had a quick dinner with Yeşim. Headed back to the house to have another meeting with the three collaborators only to find fALk fast asleep. Chatted with Michael about the state of US politics until midnight.
The rain coming down hard in the morning at the Kumquat. Most of the buses have a small manned ticket counter.
