Rukiye, my host in Istanbul, has her last university exam today, just a half hour on Arabic grammar. She's almost done a two year program in Islamic studies. Hijab is forbidden in government schools in Turkey, so she's going to wear a wig.
She tried it on this morning, and it was hard not to laugh. It was a cheap wig and didn't look real at all. We spent quite a while attempting to comb and style the wig, but it didn't help much.
We're leaving Istanbul the day after tomorrow. I can't believe how quickly the time has gone, it doesn't seem like enough.
