Saturday in Istanbul



After tow nights of party, i am tired (hey, i am no longer use to this rhythm) and today, except eating, we do nothing at Marion's place but talking about education. I can not remember how this subject started, maybe with the Balkans. Yes i think that was it, the Balkans being so divided because they had no unifying ideals. And that is what is provided by education. If it is not the first goal of education, next to intellectual stimulation. So we talk about how limited history lessons will always be, how one sided, how stupid it is to read Zola (because you dont understand) when you are 15 all this for the sake of a unified nation and a national identity. But how important it is that these things are brought to you for future use.
A passionating subject i don't feel like writing more about right now, sitting in the shade of a tree on a warm, slightly windy, November day on the south coast of Turkey.
