Closing up shop in Berlin

Today was my last full day in Berlin.  I’m flying to Cologne early tomorrow morning to visit DITIB headquarters and hopefully the Foundation Center for Studies on Turkey in Essen.  I’ll be back in Berlin late Tuesday night and then it’s off to Istanbul on Wednesday. 

I might not be able to update this site over the next few days, so if you haven’t done so yet, please sign up to receive my RSS feed or email updates so you know when I’m back at it.

This may be my last post from Berlin, so let me just say what a great time I’ve had here and thanks to everyone who helped me out!  This is an amazing city.

All the same, I’m ready to move on to Turkey and see Pinar again! :)

long lost jim gibbon! (actually, i’ve known for awhile now that you were/are at princeton, but i’ve not contacted you till now). sounds like quite a ride you’ve been on… i’ll have to spend more time in your blog to get caught up.

anyway… here’s fair warning that i might could use some advice from you about the program at princeton. i might be a bit late, but my plans as of now are to apply to ph.d. programs this fall in hopes of starting in ‘07. i am just now finishing up my MA at the university of chicago (sociology), and it was enough to spur me on to more school. i have yet to research programs in much detail, but from the little direction i’ve been given, princeton sounds like an option. maybe we can chat sometime about your time there?

no hurry on that stuff. enjoy your current travels… i was only in turkey for a week once, but i loved it.

peace out, gibbon…

Hey Bob! Great to hear from you. I’d be happy to talk with you about Princeton’s program.

Till then…
