Episode039: When you attend a ballet in a 2,000-year-old theater

Welcome back to Episode039 and happy Fall! Our 2-year visa applications are in the works! We are hoping that all of it should be processed and our new visas will be in our hands in the next month! Please be thinking about us in this in-between time and for approval. Currently, we are in limbo between our currently expired visas and the new ones coming in… which is never fun.

In Episode039, we are back to sharing about our expat life. That means several updates about daily life, getting back into a routine during our 2nd year, learning to love each other better in the midst of change and in a different culture, and a weekend getaway to explore the nearby 2,000-year-old ancient city.

 

Did you know we have Instagram? We would love for you to follow us there to see daily pictures and stories about what our lives look like in Turkey!
