Did you know that you have to have a ticket to get in the area to get a ticket in the Cairo airport. It is a novel concept. I ordered my ticket online, and I couldn't print it out because it was international. Apparently all they needed was a paper with my name on it, because when I finally handed them the paper from the airline office, they didn't even look at it. I love "security" in Egypt.
But now I'm in TURKEY! And better yet with Mika and TED! Everything here seems clean and organized compared to Cairo. This is the first country I have ever traveled to that I know absolutely nothing in the language. I don't know that I had ever heard Turkish before I was in the airport. It is weird. It makes me feel really lost. I keep wanting to speak to everyone in Arabic. I guess because it is not English, I automatically think of Arabic. Some of the words are similar tho, I learned on the metro.
I was really proud of Mika and I. Without knowing the language, we caught the metro, a trolley, and walked through the streets with our luggage to make it to our hostel. We felt really cool. And we did it for a lot cheaper than a taxi. Although, I so do not understand the money here.
Well, I have a big day ahead of me tomorrow, so I'm going to sleep now. Happy American Easter! Happy Eastern Palm Sunday!
