Occupation: Simit Vendor in Istanbul, Turkey
Pay: 75-80 cents an hour in winter; $5-6 an hour in the summer
Benefits: Help feed some starving tourists
Drawbacks: May have people secretly take two simits for the price of one.
End of the Workweek Goal: Buy a new pair of socks
NOTE: This is a work of satire, and none of this info should be taken seriously. My heart goes out to the kid in the picture, and everyone caught in his economic circumstance. The simit is a breaded pastry, which one can buy fresh on Saturdays at the Harmony Market in Cary, NC.
And, I found out today that there is a Turkish movie blogger in Istanbul named Ali Arikan who is getting a lot of traffic with his Indy Jones blog-a-thon.
Check his site out at:

I would write more, but Gizmo- my cat who is named after a Gremlin- is yelling: "Feed me, Seymour."
