"Asli Pelit, for CNN Turk, from Montevideo, Uruguay"

I have started my first real reporting assignment as the "correspondant of CNN Turk" in Latin America, today! I have made other stories via telephone from here, but this time I am accreditted--though I should mention the big fuck-up organizers have made: I am not from Turkey for this even, but from the US as they did not expect a Turkish journalist in this summit their computers were not programmed for my country!--sitting next to Larry Rohter from NY Times and Lucia Newman (she used to work for CNN but now works for Al Jazeera!) and other important reporters! I have made official requests to interview a couple of state heads, of which I hope I can manage to get one in front of my camera this weekend.

So far there is nothing super important happening, but I am sure over the next 48 hours, I will have more anecdotes to share!
