EuroMeet 2012 - Istanbul

jail would be a cheap accommodation alternative.

cancelled our flight

the Rakı hangover...

Bosphorus water temperature is still low enough for a quick remedy

...Jail, the cancelled flight phenomenon, bad liquor, hangover, a quick dip to frosty waters... Aah, one can sense the regular Euro RFF meeting is afoot.

Literally on the doorstep now, see you soon peeps. :)

BTW, whether forecasting is not reliable in this season. Also whether can change during the day time.

One of the first saying I was introduced to in Istanbul was this:

The weather (in Istanbul) is like women:
moody.

He might have said "unpredictible". In any case, the guy telling me this while we were sitting on a bench halfway up the Bosphorus got smacked pretty good by his lady friend. :D

Sun is shining into my living room... There's hope.
:rolleyes:
 
I'm heading over tomorrow and expect to wander into Ara Cafe closer to 9 then 10 and look for any of the RFF early arrivals to see what's up.
 
Good work all! If all goes well I'll be around on friday afternoon/evening too.

For my monday and tuesday nights (flying back on wednesday), the fabulous shared penthouse will no longer be available so I was planning to find a hostel (or similar) in an area which seems most interesting over the weekend. Do our local RFF colleagues think Istanbul still has few enough tourists for a couple of nights at short notice to be possible, or will everywhere already be booked?!

Now, what to bring with me . . .
 
Our local RFFers will tip a beer in your honor at our Beer & Gear near San Francisco Friday night. Have a great weekend everyone, look forward to seeing some of the pictures you guys produce!

PS- drunken bar shots preferred :)

Martin, it's not high season yet, so most of the hotels, hostels are still available without any reservation. You just come, the rest is to be handled here.

"Now, what to bring with me.." Don't forget yourself :D
