We are here to stay forever and ever. and ever. In Istanbul. at least you can buy ready made 1000 island salad dressing these days. not like I eat the goopy goo, but it made me insanely happy to see it on the shelves.
and the whole TEFL dog poll....perhaps you should change the name to Dershane Dog? since half of those questions are flatout illegal in primary schools, regardless of what subject you teach.
I think Thrifty is kind of funny, in a warped way. Knowing I can come to Dave's cafe and listen to him talk about how bad his life is makes me almost as happy as seeing 1000 island salad dressing at the grocery store. |

Are you a TEFL dog? If you score more than 6 yes answers then you are a TEFL dog.
1 Have you ever stolen from a colleague because you believe that you are worse off financially then them?
2 Are you excited at the thought of low cost flights to Turkey?
3 Have you ever left a bar early in order to leave the large bill with one of your students?
4 Do you steal toilet paper or stationery from work?
5 Have you ever abused your position in class to groom students in order to sleep with them?
6 Do you let your students buy you food and drink?
7 Do you use your Englishness or Canadianess to skank freebies?
8 Have you ever slept with a Turk just to get things cheaper or for free?
9 Have you ever or do you pocket the taxi money and get the bus or dolmuş when you do company work?
10 Have you ever slept with a student because it was easier than having a relationship with a real person and cheaper?
My score is 10 |
Then you Sir are a cad and a snake. I don't care how bad your situation is sleeping with impressionable young students for your own means is wrong.
I'm 1 - I get excited about cheap flight. |

| I got a 10+ because I can think of a few extra actions commited while under the influence of tonic wine which cannot be mentioned here. |

WHAT?! You don't believe me? ME?! I AM a perfect zero. (Hee hee, love saying that.)
becauuuuuse
I get excited at the thought of low cost flights FROM Turkey.
And I think "sleeping with students" may be more of a bloke thing. I don't know many female teachers who stalked students. Am I wrong? |

Tekirdag - I too, am a perfect ZERO!
And I have slept with a student, but for the record, HE pursued ME.
Absolutely, I think it's a guy thing. |

| I'm a zero as well, because there is no such thing as a cheap flight between Canada and Turkey, and I fail to be excite by the thought of cheapish flightsto Switzerland or London (aside from the prospect of pork, cheese, real beer, and fine vindaloo |

| So far, there seems to be only one TEFL dog in our midst. (I would count Baba's dog, but I doubt he could score a 6 on thrifty's quiz.) |

maybe your psycho kedı and my psycho kedı can get together and kill each other. that would be cool.
I've only been in Ankara for 1 year. And that's enough(i think you all would agree)
I am looking for jobs elsewhere even tho i get paid very well here. But I can't stand it.
Whoever said it was easy to be a vegetarian in Turkey to me a long time ago must have been one of those vegetarians who each chicken. and fish. And the occasional burger. |

You can live well as a veggie on mezze but that gets boring. I was mostly veggie in Kaysei but had that beaten out of me--- 16 years of veggieness eliminated by one central anadolu city with lamb broth in everything! Gecmis olsun.
PS Psycho Kedi says yes to a catfight. But she's sleeping now so maybe after the nap. |

well... I slept with a student, but after he became my husband (now my ex)... does that count And I have to confess I stole toilet paper a couple of times, but I don't do it anymore... and I would also let my students pay for my tea when I worked in dershanes... |
