Let me begin by assuring you that what I post on this blog in no way represents the views of the State Department or the Critical Language Scholarship program.

Bir kaç hafta önce şair, yazar, ve çok ilginç olan Sunay Akın'ın Oyuncak Müzesine gittik. Müze Anadolu tarafta ve gitmenizi tavsiye ediyorum. Biz de çok şanslıydık çünkü Sunay Bey'le tanışıp konuşmasına dinledik. O kesinlikle çok kibar, yetenekli, ve misafirperver biri. Müzesindeki eyşaları da anlatmayı seviyor. Çok güzel bir gündü!

We were lucky enough to visit the İstanbul Toy Museum a few weeks ago. The experience was enhanced by Mr. Sunay Akın, who has assembled the fine international collection of toys. Formally a geographer, Mr. Akın has built himself quite an interesting career, publishing several novels and books of poetry, in addition to opening the brilliant museum. He is vastly knowledgeable on all types of subjects and an incredible pleasant human being to spend an afternoon with. If you can find your way to this museum (it's buried somewhere on the Asian side of the city), it's well worth the effort of getting there...
