T minus 6 days and counting. After a little poking and prodding , I finally received information about where I will be staying in Izmir - the University Guest Rooms in Buca, which, I think, is a neighborhood in Izmir. My apartment will have a private bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom. Although the bedroom and living room may be in the same room (studio-style), the place is partially furnished, so I won't have to worry about getting a bed or sofa.
Although I won't be near enough to see the ocean from my place, I will be about 2 minutes from campus and within a metro ride of Ikea! I've been hoping for Ikea to come to Denver for years; seems that I have to move to Turkey in order to have one in my city!
As soon as I get there and find an Internet connection, I will take some pictures and post them on my blog site.

I had to laugh when I read about there being an Ikea in your vicinity in Turkey! It just seems so wrong that you (and your mom) have lived so long in a city without one, and it is what I consider to be a "Melanie" store. I think you may have to take a list with you from your mom, and send things back to her from Ikea!

Well, I tried to leave a comment and it disappeared. We just returned from COLO and loved spending time at our new home.
If you need anything just go to IKEA.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Ah Swedish design in Turkey! Forget about the historic monuments, colorful bazaars, hookahs and hammams - it's IKEA that counts! Just kidding :) By now you are integrating and exploring your new world - just like me since I just arrived in London on the 14th. I'm looking for a place to live, and start work tomorrow (Wednesday). Can't wait to visit during your adventure! xoxoxo Alicia
