"This is the first day...

...of the rest of your life."

Happy new year everybody!

Welcome to the 2007 version of this weblog. For my family, 2006 ended with a big surprise. I showed up in Germany on Christmas Eve dressed up as a Santa Clause. Nobody expected me - fun fun fun. I started my new year with some Turkish apple tea and hot chestnuts with Cagil and friends in Istanbul. I'll be here for another six days.

Let's give this new blog page a private touch. Here are two pictures taken by my uncle, showing Cagil and me and also me in my Santa costume. At this point, nobody knew it's me. Easily understandable by looking at my grandma's suspicious face :-)
