Offended? Then I did my job.
I made this drawing. It’s called “Fuck Reagan.” Let me know if you are offended because that was the point. Reagan was not actually sodomized in the making of this image.

(And they have great new carpeting in the lobby.) Hemmingway stayed here, so should you. Beyoğlu – This is the neighborhood where… (read more)
This is the view crossing the Galata Bridge looking back at Sultanahment. That is Aya Sofya on the right on the hill. Today I walked for about 10 hours and I did not get tired until I put the key in the door of my room at the Grand Hotel de Londres. It was amazing… (read more)
Nothing prepares you for Epheseus. It really is a place that seethes with life. Not just the thousands of camera-toting, sunblock-applying, child-chasing, photo-opping, cell phone-chatting humans around you. You are really catapulted into the past. You walk the same marble sidewalks as people thousands of years ago. You are under the same hard cerulean… (read more)
Well, things came to a head between the Indians and the Italians today. One of the things that happens on these tours is that you go to a site (in this case, today it was Pamukkale, Hieropolis and Aphrodisias) and then you get driven to a “special presentation” where you are offered high quality goods… (read more)
The driver of our tour bus (Omer, not to be confused with Omer, our tour guide) is one of the most beautiful men I have ever seen. I don’t know what he is doing driving a bus of tourists around Turkey. He should be a movie star. He smokes, like most Turks and I guess… (read more)

It was really an incredible experience to see the caves and mountains of Cappadocia from the air. It was the most comfortable air trip I have ever experienced, including the landing. Afterwards, we got flying certificates and… (read more)
Here I am in the lobby of the Perissia Hotel in the Cappadocia Region of Turkey where the lounge entertainment is a young Turkish Man singing with an acoustic guitar. He just finished a version of Kansas’s classic and a significant number of the multinational crowd joined in with him – some in earnest and… (read more)
