Baba, I'm there already. Where are you? I saved you a seat. I'm having to fight off magandas from all sides because I'm wearing my teaching uniform (push up bra, suspenders, the usual).

Karın on bar street make smashing martinis, and they have a user friendly staircase; you can fall down it with out breaking your neck.

There are too many damn stairs here. I discovered this when I found out it's really freaking hard to push a stroller on stairs.

Which means a lot of drinking fun is still out for me til the little one learns to walk on stairs.

Off to exercise his legs...

..and that's the beauty of it..a bit of a rough and tumble down the stairs with low cerebral damage. Must say it wasn't my fault, though. The chap that l was waltzing with got a tad too close to the stairs and stepped out into thin air, fell backwards and dragged me along for the ride.

Oh the fun of stairs...I remember being in Carousel in B'Koy once, ans seeing a little old koylu, who'd never used the escalators before, fall backwards onto the people behind, causing an avalanche of bodies at the foot of the thing. No-one was hurt, fortunately.
Looked bloody funny, especially when the little old koylu said, 'is this what you're supposed to do, then?'

Hehe. That used to be one of my favorite things to do in Bk�y-- watching the k�yl� get on and off the escalators and totally freaking out as they did so. Sometimes they just screamed as their more cosmopolitan relatives simply shoved them past the difficult part.

Though I almost got killed once, when one stopped short at the bottom, afraid to get off, causing the woman behind her who'd taken her baby stroller on the escalator to nearly dump the baby, which caused a domino effect of havoc all the way up til some clever youngster hit the emergency stop button...
