A La Turka, March 5, 2002
  
 
Microsoft team lunch at a local Turkish restaurant...
 
       
 
   
 
The Group (clockwise):
Karan, Mark, Serap, Jim, Michael, Gerald, Ning, Bobby, my place, and Paul...
  
My entrée was stuffed grape leaves... very tasty...
 
Turkish coffee and baklava...
 
       
 
 
Serap revealed an ancient Turkish custom - reading one's fortune in the coffee sediment. Dollar signs were clearly visible in my cup...
 
Karan prepared his coffee sediments and then stated that his future looked "murky!"
  
Serap delivers her interpretation of the coffee sediment, as Ning Zhang looks away and seems to ask - "why me?"
 
Paul prepares to speed away from A La Turka with Karan trembling in the passenger seat...
