I've been in Istinye, Istanbul for about 2 weeks now; love love love it here! My host family is incredible- they are so kind and fun and have taught me so many new turkish traditions already! It's pretty funny, but I technically live at the mall- our complex is literally connected to the mall and we have a special entrance :P I know my mom is thinking "DANGER ZONE" for me...hehe don't worry mom!
Can I just say that Turkish people go crazy for some good old fashioned fluffy American Pancakes? I've made them on request several times now.. :) It brings me back to 6th grade when I had chocolate chip pancakes EVERY SINGLE DAY...Howwww was I not fat?
Last week we attended the Vogue Fashion Night Out party. It was....AWESOME. I don't have enough time right now to try and explain it, but here are some pictures from it!

I have done tons of research for our visit. I wish we were coming now. Never would have thought about visiting Istanbul before you were there. Hope you can Skype with your Dad soon. We have a few questions - mostly silly stuff. Enjoy your weekend!
