That's "welcome" in Turkish.
This September, Larry and I will travel to Ankara, Turkey for the 2009/2010 academic year. Larry will teach history at Hacettepe University and I will tag along for the ride. In 1994/95, we had a similar adventure, that time at Bilkent University, a neighbor of Hacettepe. For more information about both universities, their web sites are:

On June 2, the photo image on the Bilkent University home page was the library building, highlighting a section including their Special Collections Department. Fifteen years ago, I briefly assisted in the design of a section of the building, as well as the layout of the Special Collections area. Now I will have the opportunity of visiting the completed project.
This blog is meant for my family and friends to follow my great Anatolian adventure. Anatolia, by the way, makes up most of the country of Turkey. For a description of Anatolia, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatolia
I'll try to update the blog on a regular basis, perhaps weekly (so as not to bore you too much). Thanks for your interest!
A brief summary of our adventures through Turkey. Hoş geldiniz! For more photographs, see: http://anatolianphotos.shutterfly.com
Can't wait to follow your adventures.
ReplyDeleteHey El,I hope this works. I've enlisted myself and hope all works out so I can post comments. Didn't work the first time..
ReplyDeleteHope to talk to you before you leave.
Love, Cor
It worked! Good job. Now, can you remember how you did it? If so, I'll try to share with others in case they have a problem. I didn't realize when I set this up that people had to go to some trouble to add comments. Sorry!
