The hardest part of leaving Istanbul is saying goodbye to all the wonderful people I’ve met here. Yesterday, I put up photos of some of my favorite students. Today, I’ll post photos of some my friends who have made this a year I will never forget. Some of you have left before, some of you will stay after, but our memories will always remain. Thanks guys, I will miss you all. Stay in touch.
