January 01 happy new year
so here it is, a new year, new chances, a new start, however you want it. the last day of the year never went so weird. when it was december 25 there was not so much christmas spirit in turkey, so i was really disappointed, i think i've had the worst christmas of my life in 2006. anyway yesterday i started to understand how interesting the turkish culture really is. they celebrated their christmas last night. but that was not all. nooo way. it's same like us for them to have a party because the year has ended, but they also celebrate christmas, thanksgiving, halloween(what we in holland like to call sint maarten) and some turkish party called bayram because of something what is written in the koran. they put all parties just in 1 day, i can not say i appreciated it, although it was very nice to go to all ilker's neighbours and get there some candy without having to put a special costume on(or like in holland, to sing a song). i noticed almost everywhere a sheep, i know they will kill and cut the sheep and i felt already bad about that, till we got to the last house with people so nice, but when i went up to look the view from their roof, i saw blood everywhere, bodyparts of a sheep which they put into plastic bags and a knife covered in blood. i'm surprised i didn't throw up.. we went down again, and they asked me about the nice view, what nice view?? how i can concentrate on the view? anyway, after we went home and ilkay(ilker's sister) and i prepared all food, i didn't want to help, but it was not so bad after all. we made tiramisu, which was very good so i'm guessing i will make that one a lot if i've got my own kitchen :D then the night went quickly and 12o'clock came, and from nowhere i started to cry because what the hell i was doing here, i could sit in my own home with my mother and brother watch normal television with normal singing people and eat normal food. but no, i was here in turkey and it felt really reaaallly bad. anyway the moment passed, i went to bed, and now it's morning and i have no clue what we will do today since it's the second day of this special turkish holiday. i want to stay in bed all day if possible.. it's past 11o'clock now, breakfast can be ready any minute now. i wish for everyone a good 2007 and i hope your dreams may come true, i will try to keep more in contact with everyone so you don't have to miss me so much ;) happy new year everybody!
