Musik, Filme und Bücher

Honestly I have really wide-ranging tastes in all of the above, but to give a bit of an idea:
Books: River Town; The Illustrated Man; Grief is the Thing with Feathers; The Museum of Innocence; A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, What is the What, The Trial, Nothing to Envy, The Vegetarian, Paris Trance, A Sport and a Pastime, Lolita, The Master and Margarita

Music: in Istanbul I enjoyed seeing Deniz Tekin and Yasmine Hamdan live but I also like folk, country, jazz, rock & roll, jazz, techno, electronic, pop...

Movies: I watch anything that isn't a 'chick flick' but generally my favourites end up being thrillers, gangster films and documentaries. A classic phrase from my friends is 'I watched xxx film and it was really weird, you'd love it, Ayla'. Big fan of David Lynch and Wes Anderson.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Having the opportunity to live in Istanbul, learn a new language and experience a different culture.
