 I pay for my ticket and when I arrive I give them my receipt and boarding passes and all other proof and they reimburse me. They will only pay for economy class so don't go and buy a first class ticket!

 Are you flying from the UNited States? From NYC it will cost around $800 plus taxes for a return fare on Turkish Airlines. I don't expect one-way to be any cheaper; it tmight even cost more. This is through Prime Travel in NY: 1-800-TURKIYE

				| Any news from Bilkent brainwash candidates*, er, I mean applicants? 
 
 
 
 
 *Author's opinion. There is actually only a 50% chance of actual brainwashing taking place*, and if you're lucky this will involve copious amounts of mind-expanding drugs.
 
 
 
 
 *Author's lame joke.
