Girls' Day in Ankara

The ladies of Bilkent Univ. and their sidekick CouchSurfer hit Ulus, a more conservative area in the north of Ankara, for a day of excitement. Sorry I couldn't give you pictures from inside the actual bath, but here are the ladies afterward, drinking chai and getting their eyebrows threaded.
  



Shopping in Ulus. Locals don't actually like Ulus that much, apparently its seen as old-fashioned, but Westerners love it for that same reason. Our group consisted of one French woman, an Asian-Canadian woman, and 3 Americans from Kansas, Montana, and North Carolina.
