Hey folks! Have have u been? I basically just came back from Turkey few days ago and it was amayzing. I was participating in theatre workshops, that took place in Urla near Izmir, therefore I spent there around 7 days plus almost 4 in Istanbul on my own. We were presenting myths from our countries in a form of mime show for the inhabitants of Urla. Participants were coming from Poland, Turkey, Greece, Italy,Slovenia and Latvia. It was a bit of a fun actually. I think the most funniest people in the world are Italians. With their really basic knowledge of English, everyone gains an opportunity to catch some Italian sentences. They are very loud, expressive, effusive and from my experience I can add they love to skype with their families no matter where they are. Also picky about food. We all know pizza,pasta and lasagne are setting the bar high when it comes to satisfying our tummies ;).Just for the record I'm going to live in Rome for a month. Sice I came back from Iceland I'm unstoppable with my voyages. Unfortunately Im running out of money, so afterwards I definitely will have to find a job ,what means Im gonna be stuck in one place for more or less 6 months (Holly SHIT). But lets get back to the'Turkey subject'. My adventure started just as I stomped into the aiport in Gdansk. First my flight got delayed so I was almost sure I wouldnt make it to the next one. In addition, one drunk lady started posing trouble on a plane. She was Polish and sloshed as hell u could really smell it ;p. As she didnt want to turn her phone off, powerless stewardess asked people on board if anyone spoke Polish and could help her out. I volunteered - thats how i ended up in a buissnes class also my effort was awared with some white wine afterwars. DANKE SCHON LUFTHANSA :). Unfortunately when I arrived in Munich nobody was at the gate assigned to Istanbul....Shit so this is it ....A night in Munich awaits me? - I asked my-inner-self. Rushing to the information, I heard my name from the megaphone. Im safe :D It was a load off my mind. I had a 5 hours break before my next flight to Izmir so I decided to wander aimlessly around Taksim in Istanbul. Istanbul is such a huge city after living in Reykjavik , it was sort of overwhelming me. We (me and another Polish gal) were roaming around in some parks and it turned out it could have been dangerous ....That's what police officers told us. I think Turkish people are very kind and caring. They will do anything just to make u feel comfortable. What about Turkish guys?They are a bit possesive, will whisper sweet words in your ears and after 5 minutes of chatting tell u they love you. Pretty fast. They know how to lie but of course its improper to make such generalizations. Beware, though :) After the workshop I went for couple of days to Istanbul on my own. As Im brunette with dark features and medium tanned skin I would get unnoticed, easily blending in. It can be an advantage as well as a disadvantage. At the aiport suspicious controller was kinda investigating an scrutinizing me. Why did u come here, what for, where did u stay. Geez. Hold on , Calm down and drink some tea ;p. BTW I always hear how English language is useful, and enables u to communicate with people around the globe. The biggest lie of all. Not in Turkey. Apparently German would be more handy.
