"Snowball death" in Turkey

Harmless fun turned into a politicized loss

Hey :)

So, I am a little behind with my blog entries. This one is out of order because I found it to be important to upload it timely. I am now in Istanbul, Turkey and current issues popped up in front of my house. I will upload the rest of my videos about my time in Mexico soon.
