One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got cheated by a street gambler and lost 100 Euros. It was kinda funny days after the happening :)

I worked with the production team of La Fura Dels Baus and after the last show, they put as on the "human net" (hanging from a crane about meters high on the Golden Horn).

Watching the Morrissey concert at the very front line (VIP area)and holding his hand twice!

I am the director of an International Teen Films Festival (tisfest). I gave an interview to a major newspaper and it covered the whole page :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach you turkish language or how to cook turkish meals, at least the ones I can cook :)
