Teşekkürler!

I hope where you are now is more stable.

My girlfriend and her sister are also in the brain drain. Definitely a sad state of affairs, so many of her friends and friends family’s have been either political prisoners, or had ongoing court cases, etc.

I’ve been trying to learn Turkish so we can move her family over here too and I can actually chat with them, but I fear they’ll need to work on their English so they can get around.

I was just in Göcek and Ankara and I had some wildly interesting interactions with locals when they asked me how I liked Turkey.

“I like it, very beautiful country, lovely people, great food.”

“So you’d move here?”

“Uh… perhaps not”

“So you don’t like Turkey”
