Goodness, my dear just me-- you're on a roll already and it isnt even 9am yet. I'm still struggling through my coffee.

Maybe I need wine jello for breakfast, chopped up like so many fruity bits on my cornflakes.

Well, they changed my service bus which means I got an extra 10 minutes of sleep....

Plus no one is sick today which means I don't have to sub for other teachers' idiot classes. Like yesterday. Yesterday I whammed on the desk and threw 2 of them out. Put me out of sorts for the rest of the day. I felt like my cloud looks.

More coffee......

Well a friend of mine who is from Istanbul said to avoid Taksim Square, he said there were some incidents last year with thieves and drunk people groping women in the street. But I've heard Taksim is the place to be if you are looking for action!

Saw a few clubs online but they look VERY swanky with all kinds of celebrities. May be a bit out of the budget!!!

There was a bomb on Istiklal one New Year's Eve a few years ago.

Has anyone been to Cahide On5? Heard food's expensive but how's the atmosphere and are the drinks outrageous? Sound like a good New Year's?
