The Trip to the Police Station.

So today I went to the Police Station..... but it's not what you think. :) I had to go to change my address on my residence permit. Now that I've moved they need to know where I am in case of an emergency. So today I got to sleep in and then went to my mom to the police station. 

The foreigner's department at the police station is one of the most interesting places I've been in. There's people from all different countries: people who are moving to Turkey to be with their spouses, students coming to study at university, families moving here for work and people just traveling. I met a man from Pakistan today who was coming here to be with his wife. It's so cool just to say I met someone from there. I also sat next to a woman who was using her i-pad in Chinese! I know how people type in that language now. Anyways, you also see many different passports. The Pakistan ones are green, there's a Russian one that's red, the Turkish one is red, the USA one is blue etc... I love seeing all these different things and people and knowing that there's countries from all over the world represented in one room. 

So school started up again on Monday and taking the metro is not as bad as I thought it would be. I just have to remember to get on the right side at the metro to take the one that goes all the way to my station.... that and get up at 7. However, starting school felt good. I'm back with my friends and it's really good. 

Happy Valentine's Day!
