Dinner at an out of the way place owned by a family from the East, the town that Tuncay's family is from. Hakan said they made lahmacun (a flat bread with minced meat and minced tomatoes) on it just like his dad's mom. It was fun, tons of courses, and we sat around on cushions at a low table and drank ayran and finished it all off with baklava. Then we drove and paid a visit to all of the family, drank more tea, and I fell asleep to Pirates of the Carribbean - I never knew Johnny Depp spoke Turkish...
Carolers at the mall singing carols in English. HA!
We stopped by IKEA to buy some pamuk seker (cotton candy -oh, globalization)

Nur and Hakan meet Baba Noel (Father Christmas) American style! 
Quick break from arduous shopping adventures at that bastion of world domination, Starbucks. It literally is taking over the world!
