Things that will not be as fun in NC without my Turkish Fulbright BFs

Sarah Assian inspired me to compile a list of "Turkishisms" that we will never forget....

1. Calling old ladies "teyze".

2. Wearing "teyze pants" around the house.

3. Making fun of apaçi hair styles.

4. Overnight bus rides, especially since there are no hostesses, cakes or çay.

5. Turkish kolonya

6. "Meeting up" at the Mediterranean or some 2,000 year old city for the weekend.

7. Yelling çok ayıp! to young boys on the street because of their foul mouths.

8. Gastamonu, Gastamonu, dep,dep, dep

9. Telling the garcon, "bir tane of this and bir tane of that".

10. Wearing my Ataturk necklace and shirt and having people be impressed

11. Talking about people in English.

12. Playin with those erkeks......................

iyi şanslar arkadaşlar!!! This was quite the year!
