Istanbul Oct. 9-10
This was relazing weekend. Saturday night we went over a co-worker’s house, Önder. He prepared dinner for us. We ate manti (like tortellini but with meat inside, you put yogurt over it), regular kofte and chi kofte. Chi kofte in interesting because it is raw kofte grinded with grains and many spices
Apparently, I had the unspiced version and it was freakin hot hot hot. He grinded the spices for a long time, almost an hour I guess. Then you roll the pieces with lettuce and put lemon on it. İt was good. My face was burning from the spices.
The next day, we ran a marathon. Well not really ran, more like walked. Every year they close the Bosphorus bridge and some roads for a 7 km marathon. İt was really cool because it is the only day you can walk on the Bosphorus. We didn’t actually walk the whole way but took a cab after we walked off the bridge. Good thing too cause my knee was freakin killing me. İt was nice though, full of ppl and we even got medals and t-shirts for the occasion.
