As the sun rises and illuminates the Bosphorus Sea, the city comes to life in the extreme early hours of the day.

A Scene
The air is thick like tomato soup. As you exit the airport, you are hit with the fanfare of taxi drivers whistling and pressing on their horn as they try to grab your custom.

Thrills!
Visiting theme parks is always a day of excitement mixed with fear.

What better way to relax after results day than with spraypaints? After delving in the shed for a saw to cut a suitable piece of plywood, I finally managed to actually use the saw. They say that a man is meant to take care of his tools but for my dad this just means bundling…Read more Relaxing With Spraypaints
Receiving Results On Live TV, EEK!
If you have nothing to do with the education sector, then you probably look on in bemusement when results day rolls up. I trust however, that you are not one of those who dismisses students' achievements by saying things like "oh exams were far more difficult in my time" or "I wonder how many real…Read more Receiving Results On Live TV, EEK!
