This post is not called Surreal Life because there's a Dali exhibit at the Bostanci Museum here in Istanbul now. It's because we had an 'official' welcome dinner last night at the Foundation's dining room. (We work for a school, but the school is run by a foundation.)
About a half hour after we had all sat down, and were thinking we'd be served dinner, suddenly there was a flutter by the door (at the end of the red carpet we'd entered on) and a bride & groom entered! Elvis Presley's "I Can't Help Falling in Love with You" started playing and they had a first dance.
So why was a wedding party at our welcome dinner? Well, all we can figure is they were sharing the dining room with us because either they (or the Foundation) got a discount; waiters, food costs, etc., divided by 2?!
Strange and stranger...
