October 30. Adana kebab.

The bus ride to Adana is uneventful. In a restaurant, I work a bit on translation, which could in theory pay me and make Charity Travel a sustainable concept for me (and you) - who knows.

I walk around asking for the address of ACEV, which I find after ten people gave me directions and reassured me that is it very close. The people at ACEV are very friendly and helpful. There has been an incident though, involving an undercover documentation by a woman called S. Ferguson who filmed allegedly bad aspects of Turkish ngo's.

October 21. Charity Travel on a CS meeting.

After a lazy morning and a delicious Turkish breakfast Mehmet explains me how to get to Taksim. Getting around in Istanbul with minibuses is easier than I thought. So, with the afternoon sun in my face I stroll down the main shopping street towards the famous Galata tower, and have myself shot to 60-something meters for an amazing view of the city. Dutifully, I produced some digital carvings of Istanbuls smoggy horizon that is so characteristically needled with minaret spines. Mehmet calls me since we have an appointment with ACEV, the charity I am supporting in Turkey.
