Had a wonderful trip to Istanbul. Enjoyed getting to know more about MEF International School and seeing how things work. It will be quite a learning experience for me as many of the practices are regulated by the Ministry of Education.
Felt fortunate to have been there at the height of the protests - its an interesting time for the country, with lots of hope for change. There are concerns about the government attempting to restrict some activities of the people which is directly opposite the beliefs of Ataturk who pushed Turkey into the western way of life. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
