in some ways, jetlag isreally useful. there's something about the bleary eyed, heightened-awareness, what-time-is-it-here-and-also-where-are-we, is-that-sun-rising-or-setting-out-the-side-of-the-airplane overtiredness of jetlag that gets you ready. It gets your body so completely turned upside down that when you wake up in the middle of a park overlooking the bosphorous at 430 in the afternoon while just maybe leaving a little bit of quite unladylike spit on your traveling companion's shoulder and the man with the cart overcharges you for an ear of boiled corn with salt you're like 'yeah, of course' and continue on your merry backpacked way without even stopping to think 'holy shit, i`m in istanbul.'



Holy shit, I'm in Istanbul.



And away we go...
