off to kayseri

turkey, that is.
kayseri is pronounced KA-ee-seh-ree, of course.

on the map above
kayseri is under the “I” in “ANATOLIA”.

i’ve already started pimsleur turkish,
an amazing language acquisition program.

Affedersiniz. İngilizce konuşuyor musunuz?
because my turkish is very bad.

we leave in less than 2 weeks.
we’re packing.
i’m trying to make steady progress
in order to avoid the stress & tension
that seems to be innately involved in moving.
good thing it’s ramadhan.

in my suitcase i’m gonna pack
some grits and hot tamales candy,
taliah waajid shampoo & detangler,
dr. bronner’s peppermint soap,
and some sticky wall hooks.
essentials, yaKnow.

keep us in your dua, inshaAllah.
