Small Things In Life. Food !

Second Sunday morning in Palo Alto. Desperate to eat, I hit university avenue. Come across Taxim, Istanbul street food. Oh gosh—do I really want bad falafel and wrongly named doner kebap (really gyro meat) this morning? I enter the store; greeted with this lovely lady. I start reading the menu—pogaca. Lahmacun, pide… I am panicked.. Until I see Turkish breakfast as a line item; and I lose myself and start ordering sucuklu pide, pogaca, menemen, Turkish breakfast w proper tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, cay, orange juice (ok not so Turkish). And they have SIMIT!!!! Bliss!!!!!

My gurbet sepeti at home is helpful and the best thing is my co-workers bought me a Turkish coffee maker from Amazon to greet me, oh with the full coffee from kahveci mehmet efendi and all..

I am afraid I have been struck with immigrant disease—I miss home!

Night At The NY Stock Exchange

I was at new york stock exchange where Turkish American society celebrated a gala dinner. it was a fantastic night with live jazz music, and a number of society leaders from turkey and from US dedicated to enhancing the relationships between two countries. We got together as the young society leaders group, and it was so energizing to be with young and  bright folks who made a difference in their own fields. I have never been to stock exchange before; firstly I was amazed how small it was, and also amazed to think most of the world’s financials are run out of there. Such a small building, and I can see how cramped during daytime it can get with thousands of people inside. We did go up and gave the stock exchange pose, which was pretty funky to doJ I love being among hundreds of well dressed people, people gazing was fun, turks and americans alike!
