Travel Day to Ankara

Today was also pretty low-key. After a seven-hour bus ride from Istanbul to Ankara, we met up with Sibel, Professor Leblebici's and Yontz's daughter. We all went to a great Turkish restaurant right around the corner from our hotel (which was very nice, by the way). Then she took us to a cool bar in the city where we met a few of her friends, including a guy who is originally from Germany. We talked a bit about college life in Europe/Asia, and found that there are definitely more similarities than differences. So far, Ankara doesn't seem quite as busy as Istanbul, but we'll see - it could still be promising.
