The Best Job in the World Part 1

It has come to my attention that I have 2 blog followers now! Whoo Hoo. This is a momentous occasion. In celebration I have decide to do something rash. Two days ago my amazing friend Laurel told me about the opportunity of a lifetime. A Job unlike any other that really fits me. The Best Job in the World. It requires traipsing along the sun drenched shores of Hamliton island, reporting on what I do find discover, and feeding the local wildlife.

Hey I know what you're saying... "Devon that sounds like hard work!" I know it does which is why I will make sure to rest each evening in the provided jaccuzi. I will prevail.

In order to enter I will be producing a 60 second spot for myself. The spot or will be funny, maybe sad, maybe it'll even blow your mind but know this you'll be changed once you've seen it.

I will post the Devon Best Job Spot on both this site and http://www.islandreefjob.com/

This is your opportunity to make history. Once my video is up, and it will be soon, I've ideas a'brewin' as we speak, you can help me make it to the promised land. I ask you this as you humble friend.

Your votes are much need and appreciated. Think of it as the opposite of Survivor, I'm trying to get voted, ONTO the island. Remember if I make it on, you'll have someone to visit in Australia! (Other than my friend Tyler, if you know him, who lives there).

You may be thinking, "why should I help him?" The answer simple.
I can make it.

I also welcome other submissions and will happily vote for your video if you choose to decide to enter.
Thank you for your time, more to come.
Devo Out.

Christmas is such a lovely time of year

Christmas Day was beautiful!


I have recently received some flak for my lack of posts. Well excuse me but I have had a guest and even though I'm in Turkey, the holidays have been busy. Christmas Day Mike my friend from Seattle arrived. We had originally planned for him to be at our feast but his plane was delayed so we ate without him.

Ozgur and I went to the airport and picked him up. Mike was surprisingly with it for traveling for almost 24 hours. Kim made a snowman to be festive. The feast gave me a chance to test out my new camera. Conclusion: It works.

The next few days I spent with Mike, maneuvering around Istanbul, having coffee and showing him the sites. We met up with Rana's brother Derya and went to a rock bar and did some dancing at a bar called the Jolly Joker which actually brews it's own beer.

The next day Mike and I did some sight seeing! Well we walked around in the pouring rain but he got to see the expedited version of Istanbul and we had good time.







After a subdued new years party we welcomed the year with a lazy day of driving around Istanbul. It was wonderful. We visited Boagzci University.









The last few days of Mikes visit were spent taking it easy and eating a lot. And then as quickly as he had come he was gone. Seeing a face from Seattle really reminded me of how much I miss it there. Ok all love and kisses. Hope you are well.
