Bir veda yemeği daha / Another goodbye dinner (the fifth this year)
Dün akşam bir veda yemeği daha vardı. Bu yıl beşinci. Ekipten Can, Amsterdam'a gidiyor. Kadıköy'de her zamanki meyhanede oturduk, rakı, meze, ve herkes aynı soruyu sordu: "Sen ne zaman gidiyorsun Elif?" (For the English readers: last night was another goodbye dinner. The fifth this year. Can from my team is moving to Amsterdam. We sat in our usual meyhane in Kadıköy, rakı, meze, and everyone asked the same question:…
- beirut checking in. my whole university class is in paris, montreal and dubai. I stayed for my parents and my balcony. the honest answer is: some days it feels like a choice and some days it feels like being left. both are true. we have the corniche instead of the ferry, same thing. kolay gelsin ya Elif
- I left Khartoum in 2016 and I have sat on both sides of that dinner table. Elif, your juniors are lucky. Staying to train the next ones is not small. It is how places survive.
