New Subway Station

Yesterday the new Şişhane Subway has opened. Well, kind of, the prime minister came, cut the ribbon and left but you couldn't ride it. It really opened to the public today. By chance our new office is near this new station so it's pretty cool. Check out the ribbons they put around. One every 20 meters ! Ridiculous. But the station and the new train are pretty cool.
Another section of the subway has opened, on the other end but is only active between 10 am and 4 pm with a train every 22 minutes which is pretty stupid since it goes to the business center which is pretty far and people going there go before 8 in the morning and come back after 6pm. The real reason is because they were late in opening this end of the line so ıt's just to show that it2s opened otherwise they're still doing the tests on it.

A Day at the Museum

Today I went to work and we went to the press conference given by Asus. They were presenting their new coming (to Turkey) eee PC. The press conference was held in the Rahmi Koç Museum where you can see some old mean of transport so we glanced around. The museum which is kind of a science museum also holds a temporary exhibition about the brain.
