Since I started my job at the Commonwealth of Learning in January 2007, I was adament that I will keep a diary of my travels so that my family and close friends can follow me wherever I travelled and for my own sake , to have a record of my life as a global citizen.Easier said than done! I always had an excuse for not writing:-)I started Face Book a year ago and Twitter a few months ago, but still could not sit down and write!Needless to say, this commitment to myself, haunted me.
When I planned my travels to Istanbul , I promised myself that I will make time to start my Blog which I will use to update my family and closed friends of my experiences.Istanbul is a true inspiration and I was left with one choice:Start the Travelling ..and here it is.
I arrived in Istandbul very late on Saturday , June 12th and was brought to the hotel by taxi.Since it was dark I could not see much, but I did see many people at the waterfront having picnics, at a very late hour.
On Sunday I made my way to the Bogazici University where the WCCES 14th meeting wa sheduled to start the next day.

How do I get there?A very pleasant young man working for the Meet Travel showed me the way.I took a Tram to Kabatas(15 minutes) and from there I took the Vernicular(speed train) to Taksim.I waited for a bus for at least 20 minutes and finally arrived at the University!
