Dutch Pancakes

The last few days of living in Istanbul have arrived. It is so weird to realize I will be leaving this city where I have been living in for almost 6 months. At first it was difficult to adjust, but now after so many months it will be really difficult to leave it all behind. Even though I’ll see most of my friends back in Holland it won’t be the same. Because it will be hard to text each other in the middle of the day and meet for a lunch break in Taksim or have a ‘study session’ at Boğaziçi University with one the most beautiful views of Istanbul. Really, these last few weeks especially have been so great. But at least we have this week together before I’ll start my travels to Dalaman, Thessaloniki, Urfa, Mardin and Diyarbakir. Of course I’m looking forward to traveling too, but I wished I could take all my friends with me.
However, I’m not the only one who is so sentimental about leaving, the whole Leiden crew is sad about it. Therefore Esther suggested to have a real Dutch Pancake Evening together before we all go home. Here are some pictures.
