Hey.
Remember me?
I used to have this little blog, and I was pretty good at updating it... Then...
Summer happened!I have to be honest, the photos are beautiful but it was the most challenging job I've ever had. I learnt a hell of a lot though - about myself, about people who lead lives one would only dream of (or feel like a Nightmare in), about sailing and working 20 hour days, about physical jobs, how to make Turkish coffee for ten people, how to make every champagne cocktails and martinis. I experienced amazing things and thing I never hope to enjoy again - visited beautiful bays with crystal clear waters, ancient archeological sites, pretty little fishing villages, the experience of falling asleep the second your head hits the pillow (or while sitting upright at the table as was often the case), I discovered the ultimate pick-me-up is an espresso, an apple and a big spoon of Nutella. I exploded just two 600euro bottles of champagne, made hundreds of coffees, cocktails and strange diet teas. I saw the best, and worse, of people. I know that money can't buy you class, but diet pills can make you skinny.
I also got a tan, have ginger hair, and kept some pretty awesome muscles in my arms from pulling ropes!
I am now in Istanbul, with a new job, a new apartment, and a whole lotta bills!
Here's an ode to my days, though 9-5 seems like a dream in this here country of 6 days a week, 9hours a day....
