It seems as though nothing can go wrong for us. Case in point: tonight, we left to catch a 10:00 bus just after 9:00. While it seemed as though we should have had plenty of time to get to the bus station, we quickly realized that the trip would take us just about an hour (making us about ten minutes late).
Luckily, we met a girl on the metro who was getting off at the same stop, and who accompanied us to the bus station (which she sprinted with us to get to!) and then convinced the attendant to contact our bus driver. (We later offered her money for this, but she refused it.)
Fully expecting that we would have to spend the night in Istanbul, we were completely shocked when we were told that the driver had just left and had offered to wait for us! So, though we showed up sweaty and completely unprepared for the ten-hour ride, at least we made it in the first place. Hopefully this luck continues…
