Day 3 Austin


Merhaba! I sit at a Starbucks with my brain already itchy from having various html rejections and other blog posting mishaps. I glance at my pad of Turkish phrases scribbled hastily yesterday. Turkish is interesting but no cake walk. Phrases from yesterday:
  • Adim Wendy (Adum Wendy: My name is Wendy)
  • Memnun oldum (pronounced as it looks: Nice to meet you)
  • Nasilsiniz? (Nasulsunuz: how are you?)
Turkish has a letter that looks like a lower-case i but without the dot. It's pronounced like "uh". Can't represent that on an English language keyboard. But you get the point.
Time to go back to the dorm for a shower. Language class starts in an hour. It's already in the 90s. I kind of like it. They take their air conditioning pretty seriously here in Texas.

  2. Wen, looks like you are getting the hang of html. I'm impressed that you have already figured out how to add a photo to your blog.

    Liv was up at 6AM. As soon as the coffee is ready we are going to read the paper on the upstairs porch. She obviously misses Ruby (and of course, you and Chris).
