spent the past two days playing tour guide to my friends dustin and his wife, mastaneh. they were here for a few days prior to attending an awards ceremony in budapest for the cartoon they made last year. okan and i went to sultanahmet and met them at their hotel, then took them around, ate kebabs, explored passages for cheap goods, and walked in the rain. the grand bazaar was closed (much to their dismay) for the bayram, so we tried to substitute little stores for the bazaar. yesterday we went to ortakoy and took a boat ride up the bosphorus (which is honestly the best 5 YTL spent in istanbul, IMHO), and then ate desserts at ozsut in taksim. mmmmm. yum.
they're on their own today exploring the yerebatan sarnici (underground cistern) and doing last minute shopping.
it had been five years since i'd seen them, which is shockingly sad and i can't believe it has been that long! the last time i remember really seeing them was at their wedding in LA, which i always remember as the best wedding i've ever been to as it mixed both jewish and persian traditions. it was colorful and exciting, unlike most of the cookie-cutter white weddings i've been to over time. yawn.
anyway. it's another grey day here..... in a week i'm going to be on a turkish game show. BAHAHAHAHAH!

Happy holidays Camille where ever you are?
