the cinnamon peeler's wife

hmmm, i am currently sitting in administrative law. today we have a guest speaker, Professor Hubert Bocken (his bio). Bocken was the former dean of the law faculty of the University of Ghent in Belgium. His lecture is a discussion of the institutional, legislative, and judicial framework of the European Union.

so why should you care? well from an insider's opinion, he thinks that the nod towards turkey is pretty much an okay. in his opinion turkey will get into the eu one way or another, sooner or later. he mentioned that istanbul is one of the oldest european cities, the problem is the anatolian part of turkey. interesting...

note: i am thinking of applying for the llm at soas in london. what do you think?
weird: this is the second class today where the treaty of maastricht of 1992 has come up: bonus points if you knew that it was the treaty that changed the european economic commission into the european union
