summer

here i'm again, this time in izmir. i've made my way to antalya last week on friday and from there i took the bus to izmir, it were 10 nice hours in the bus, not, but okay, i've got here all by myself. and i'm staying here already all week, it couldnt be worse than it is now, actually the whole family is cool, but just i have a problem with my mother in law.. but yeah who doesnt ;) again i can see the differences in our culture perfectly clear. in the netherlands man and woman are both equal, as far as i can tell, but here in turkey really they dont know the word emancipation. "mother" is working all day in home, but not normal, no, more like a special cleaning edition of superman.. and "father" he drives the car occasionally if we need to be somewhere.. i made my boyfriend perfectly clear that this is not the way my life is gonna be, at first, because of his mothers comments, he was shocked haha, but after a serious talk he understands very good how to live your life in this century. so we dont have any problems now, but his mother not seems to understand this and try to work me out of here, well unfortunately for her, i dont care, neither does ilker.. :) we've seen our dear friend blondie, who lives not so far from here, this was my best day so far. and we've been to the hospital many times, not for me, dont worry, but there i spend also many hours, and yeah that was about it. we've had many moments that we wanted to go from here, because of mother. but we decided to stay here with christmas, and then go to alanya to celebrate there new years eve with our friends.
hang on for my new adventure ;)

so.. here a new update, it's about time i guess.. at the moment im in the netherlands, for almost a week now. it's way too cold over here, nothing like in turkey, when i left, this same day people were still lying on the beach in their bikinis. anyway, this last week has gone by so quickly. i arrived on saturday around lunchtime, as a surprise for everyone, and it seems i will leave any minute now. it's a little unclear what ilker and i will be doing the next few weeks, we could work, we could find another job, we will see. it breaks my heart to think i have to leave my brother again, he's the one i always miss, my mother too ofcourse but not so much as him.
last weekend i went to the shops with him, and really, they changed everything. im sure if i was there just by myself i'd lose my way. there's like 50 new shops over there, and still they're not finished building. monday i went to make pictures for my passport, which are really lame since we can not smile anymore (new rules or something) and we're not allowed to have some of your hair in your face, anyway on tuesday i went for my passport to cityhall and today i picked my new passport up. that's all i've done in holland so far.. not so much he? :P the hotel sent me to holland on a very idiot moment, ninon is in kenia at the moment so i'm not going to see her anymore. remco is somewhere in the ocean i believe, my other friend can see me only fridaynight and im not sure if even im still here, and gemma lives on the other side of holland. so you could say i spend a lot of time in my home ;)
better because with my turkish salary here in holland its way tooooo much expensive for me :(
i felt already bad that i bought some dvd for 5 euro, i remember the times that 5 euro was nothing for me, now i calculate in my head everything to lira, and i'm sorry 10 lira is too much for a dvd which i can buy in turkey for just 3 lira ;)
i bought myself a whole bag of "oliebollen" and ate it all myself, i feel very proud now :P
okay have to watch television now, (i HAVE to :P) so hopefully i find the time to write some nonsense again tomorrow..
