#IBMCSC Wednesday Sept 26th was super day !!, we went to the office by ourselves the first time, we did not get  lost hahahaa (GPSs don't get lost hahaha). We had out 5 min walk to the office and then arrived to IZKA.

We had our Turkish coffee, Seke served it for us, he is very nice !, we call him "Sekebucks" because is like our own Starbucks, he is very sweet !. We finished the third priority of our project, getting prepared for the meeting we have on Friday as a checkpoint.

Murat, Arin and the ladies took us to te Allah, which means "mercado" in spanish. We saw a lot of handcrafts, very similar to Mexico, but the building is like 800 years old, said by Arin.

They took us to have a clasical Dürüm and Ayran, (tacote and Bebida de Yogurth haha) very delicious, and something else which look like a "lonche de bistek", I loved all the things they sell at the Allah. As for dessert we had the Sambalí, very sweet even for me hehe, but delicious as well..

After work we went out for dinner and came back to the bazar, amazing sunset at the Izmir port !!. We had a Turkish pizza, delicious also but mostly look like a Mexican "huarache", funny thing the similarity hehe.

We closed the day with a Turkish coffee at the malecon cafes, Frank, Tsubasa and myself went there after dinner and  we found Emir and Mustafa there, I met these guys one day before and are very nice, they think Mexico is just great ! and wanted to have us taking the coffee at their restaurants. Frank says I am already breaking hearts here because we went to another coffee haha, but I promised I would come back tomorrow :).  Also, I definitely have to try those "rabbits" luck lecture soon, there are some guys with baby rabbits near to the pier that make the rabbit read your luck, I don't like rabbits but I will have to make one to read it hahahaa, that way whatever I do I can definitely "blame the rabbit" ahahahaha.

We closed the day by inter-changing presents at the hotel as a team, it was nice to tell the story of how "Mariachis" work in Mexico, speaking about "Serenatas" and my culture tradition, makes me feel so proud and somehow at home. It was an amazing day  !! my CSC team is great as well !!.
