4 more days

4 days remain until our departure, from this apartment that is. I can say with as much certainty as I have that there is absolutely nothing I will miss about the school or the people working for it, which is really said actually since we’ve spent 7 months of my life in this place. I may have said it once before but I will say it again. To any one interested in working, teaching English in Turkey, and if you happen to come to Isatnbul, make sure to avoid Berlitz. I’ve talked to people who had worked for a number of Berlitz schools, located all over the world and this is the worst managed school they have ever been to. I’ve never worked at a Berlitz school before, although I have heard good things about Berlitz Japan, but after having spent the past 7 months here I’ll think twice about working for the school anywhere else.

We are leaving the country on the 19th flying out to London, but in the meantime our stay in Turkey will be made pleasant with a stay at a friends place in Izmit. I assume his Turkish family will make us feel right at home.

Jaekyoung took this shot in Bulgaria on our visa run, but that’s another story to be told in a different post.
