Today I went to Asia and saw 10000 Jellyfish

True story.
I took a ferry to Asia. Two continents in less than an hour? Deal!
I looked in the water, and saw what I thought was a jellyfish. Then I decided, no way are there jellyfish here! I assumed it might have been a discarded condom. But then, remembering that I was in the Sea of Marmara, and I know nothing about that sea, and upon closer investigation, and thinking about Muslim culture, I discovered that it was indeed a jellyfish; surrounded by about 10000 others.
That was amazing!
Today, I also
*explored the Basilica Cistern

*met a random Turkish man and ate lunch with him.
*decided that Istanbul would be way cooler with a friend, as a boy, or if I was hideously disfigured.
*walked around.
*ditched my amazing plans to go to Cappadocia because of my lack of fundage, and spent what I have left on a 12 hour bus ticket to Antalya tomorrow night.
*saw a torso. A man with no legs, maybe about an inch of leg, but basically a torso. He was selling whistles, and ironically, kept whistling the Kill Bill tune.
*Sat on a rooftop terrace and looked.
*walked a good 5 miles.
*thought about the jellyfish again, and contemplated how many jellyfish it would take to kill me if I jumped in and went swimming.
*just watched the sunset reflected off of a shiny building.
*felt 3 earthquakes [1 quake, 2 aftershocks] in the past 36 hours.
Ummmmm, I'm sure I did other things. Going to Asia was pretty cool.
Hahahaha.
Also, here are some videos from today and yesterday, as well as some photos.
