Hi everyone !<\/span><\/h1>\n

My name is Cansu. I am a junior Media and Communication major. I am here as an exchange student. – I know that the selfie is very bad. Still I had to upload it.-This is my first time in the States and I am having a tough time adjusting to a new culture. I was born and raised in Istanbul, the biggest city in Turkey. Since my birth I am surrounded by huge apartments, traffic jam, pollution etc. By the way Istanbul’s population in 17 million. Almost twice as much as New York City’s. <\/span>So in Istanbul it’s impossible to see a farmer’s market. -At least I haven’t seen one yet-\u00a0\u00a0 When I decided to live in Poughkeepsie -although I’m here for a short time- and attend Vassar College, I knew that it’s going to be very different. <\/span><\/h3>\n

And I made a commitment to myself :<\/span><\/h2>\n

I’m gonna visit a lot of places !<\/span><\/h1>\n

Thanks to my advisor who recommended this course. Our first stop was the little town of Amenia which has just 1 (one) traffic light – not kidding- and the farmer’s market. The wooden houses with flags and empty roads, all of them was quite unusual to me. But anyway, I have been enjoying the silence for almost 3 weeks now and I feel very relaxed.<\/span><\/h3>\n

There were farmers selling their organic or at least natural stuff. I enjoyed a lot ! The farmer’s market was not big actually it was vey small. There were approximately – I don’t remember exactly- 10 farmers I guess.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

This is a nice lady’s stand who bakes home-made desserts! They look very delicious! I wish I wasn’t on diet and could have tasted them.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n
And this is a yoghurt\/milk\/ice cream -dairy products- stand. Stand’s owner told me that they are not “organic” but natural.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n
 <\/p>\n
And this makes me really pissed off!<\/span>\"IMG_3590\"<\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n
Dudes ! Baklava is not Greek. It’s Turkish. I mean it.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
