After 10 years of living in the US, I am now relocating back to my native city, Istanbul. For the last few weeks, I've been very busy with sorting, packing, and selling stuff and all sorts of other chores that one apparently needs to do before an overseas move. I've been lurking on the forum as it provides me a much needed break from the chaos that has defined my existence for the last few weeks, but I haven't been able to contribute in a meaningful way. I don't know how things will play out in the next couple of weeks once I get back home and settle into the new routine, which I assume will be very different - at least much more fast-paced. I am not sure how much I will be able to post here - the same goes for my blog as well. So instead of falling off the face of the earth without an explanation, I wanted to take a moment to say a - hopefully temporary- goodbye to all of you.
It has been wonderful to be a part of this community for the last 4 years. I've been very lucky to have met quite a few of you in person, to have exchanged gifts, wardrobe items, coupon codes, useful and not-so-useful tidbits of info over pm and email. You have enriched my life in many ways, and for that I am truly grateful. Thank you and take care...
