The Haps
I'm happy to see that some of you are posting comments. Let's keep the good times rolling, eh? I've been tinkering with the MMF Project photo album main page. I took the suggestion of Bro Joe and added the cities from which the OC members come. I wanted to make some adjustments to the pictures, but right now the network is kapooey and all of the photos are there, so that will just have to wait. By the way, you can find that site by clicking on "MMF" under "Bursa Photos" on the lefthand side of the screen or just click here.
So, let's see, the past few days have been pretty great. Two days ago I hung out with Diane and Jafet, from Mexico, and Daniel, from Nigeria. We cooked some Mexican food and danced to some African music. The best parts were when we would try and imitate Daniel's crazy African dance jumping. Jafet was the funniest.
Yesterday I interviewed some of the new Student Nominees (SN's), the students who are preparing to be matched to a traineeship abroad, from Bursa to test their level of English. It was a pretty good time. Most of the ones I encountered could comprehend very well what I was saying, and I tend to speak a little quickly because I'm a native speaker. Some of them were better at responding, organizing, and generally just expressing themselves.
Today has been kind of a free day. I've used it to catch up on things like my Blogs, and I'm trying sort out this whole cell phone business so that I can finally be contacted via a telephonic device. I'm happy to say that at least I've heard back from the Support, so that's a start.
Tomorrow a professor from England is coming in to give a training session for the Aiesecers. I am going to go to that, and then on Wednesday I am going to help out with some of the reception activities planned for him to show him Bursa-like a city tour, lunch, etc.
Also, I'm sorry to say that it is Daniel's last week here, so I think we will have some kind of Nigerian culture night as well as a goodbye activity/party for him.

As long as you read it, we will write it (hahahaha) where in the heck did you find Mexican food to cook? and to bad you couldn't have a video of all of your group imatating Daniel's tribal dance that would have been a stitch. Some of those pic's are o k don't want to comment to hurt feelings. could make some funny one's though hopefully all have great sense of humor...... just like you. LUV U Bsafe see you soon
well, most of the stuff we made had pretty universal ingredients-chicken, tomatoes, zucchini, those kinds of things. But I will say that we had to eat it with normal bread, because when it comes to tortillas or even corn flour to make them, you're SOL in Bursa, maybe even all of Turkey (though I suspect it might be possible to find some in Istanbul).
Hi Laura,
I have been looking on the other site to find out what was going on, didn't think to look on bursa. Sara tried the outfits on the kids, she said little Joe looks like a monkey grinder and Sophia refused to wear the hat so we will wait and see. LoveMom
