guess the number, win a prize

not a whole lot happened today. Just straight relaxing. The guy that owns this place told us there is a Wal-Mart type place called Megro or something like that down the road. He said it was a 15 minute walk....45 minutes later still didnt see it. Its cool though, I got to see a ton of stuff on the way.

I was all excited cause I was hoping it would start getting warmer soon. Found out that February is the coldest month on average in Istanbul. hmmm, that put a damper on my excitement. I'm still on the hunt for a laundry mat type place. I dont have the patience to wash a mini load, then let it air dry for two days. I live life on an instant gratification basis. 

lets play another game. below is a picture I took out of the front of our apartment. whoever guesses the number of satellites closest to the actual number displayed will win some kind of photoshopped image from me. I promise it will be amazing. 

and yes, I shrunk the image to make it harder :)  the game closes at 5:00pm Istanbul time, 9:00pm central time, 10:00pm eastern time.

oh and yesterday I was walking around Istanbul and I spotted one of these

I tried to chase it down and get a pic, but he was weaving through traffic. Def the first one I have seen, I don't even think they are out in the states. alright errbody, talk to you soon!
