Where in the world...

Many people have asked where my apartment is, and where it relates to where I'll be working. Well, why don't I show you? To do that, you need to download the very cool, and very free, Google Earth. Once you have that down and installed, download this file: Izmir_Apartment.kmz. Double click that, and Google Earth will open up and 'fly' you right to my pad. One place I will be working is across the bay, near where the 'Izmir' label is. The second site is to the Northeast, in Manisa, on the Western edge of that town. NOTE: Google Earth grabs data real-time off the internet, so only try if you have a broadband or are very patient...

Visa Update: I heard the one guy at the Turkish consulate in L.A. who does visas just returned from his three week vacation. So, he should be well rested and ready to get my visa back to me ASAP.
