I went into town today and was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of yellow and blue that I saw. Istanbul is awash in those two colors. Why? That would be because Fenerbache won the football league, and at the moment everything seems to be celebrating that fact. I saw more people in jerseys today then I ever have before, and as far as I know there wasn't even a game. The funny thing is that they had the league championship sewed up at least a week ago. I don't know if the celebrations have just continued since then, or if this is a recent addition to the city landscape. But I do know that you can't miss the fact that Fenerbache fans are happy this season!
Musings on my adventures around the world and my ties back in Texas as well as some of the the ideas I have to adapt and create to keep those places close to home.
