It’s been a (super) long time and I really need a break from my hard-work-to-keep-me-sane project. This topic is a bit taboo, some people said. To me, they are just avoiding something that they couldn't handle. This isn't taboo, this is very much important.

For an international student, bureaucracy sometime becomes a backstop for education. Well, this is my story dealing with YÖK (Yükseköğretim Kurulu) or Higher Education Council of Turkey.
