Introduction

Hello Cyber World, I am Valerie and this blog is part of a class study abroad project. This class is with Greenville Technical College in Greenville South Carolina and we will be traveling over spring break.  We will be going to Istanbul, Turkey starting on March 29th and will be returning really late on April 7th. 

For this class project, I will be posting pictures of my travels on this blog. For this class, we have to find pictures of 5 typical American objects and 5 pictures of examples of ideas, like greetings and gestures. Then when we arrive in Istanbul, we will need to find the same pictures and snap a photo of the Turkish counterparts there.
