istanbul; december falls

chai and börek that looks like a rose, before we go to the swedish consulate for a lecture.

the general consulate of Sweden. the new ambassador Torken Stiernlöf held a speech in english on the current political situation in Turkey and its relationship to EU and the middle eastern world. A lot of swedes were there, and some turks too. afterwards we went up to the saloon in this building and drank some wine and had snacks and mingled. I wanted to ask Torkel a really smart question about a book that the former ambassador Ingmar Karlsson wrote on the turkish membership in eu, and see what he had to say about it, but then i just ended up talking about our landlord, the antique shop and our cats.

john on our way to Peyote.

Nordik plays live on Peyote. Onur to the right, does the piano and the electronic music.

Raki and water drinks.

Onur is the dj and Ellinor is helping out with some tasty swedish indie.

john, irish (-turkish) friend, is getting ready for a friday night out in the electroclubs. Black piercing, shaved a moustashe, colored his hair darker. we like it!
