But you DON`T like finger cracking in Turkey.

Pet hates:

TEFL jobs that advertise 'good local salary' The logic is that the average local salary is 60 dollars a month so if they pay you 200 it is good. Course all the locals own their own homes and are on the scam.

TEFL jobs that advertise with nonsense like queen of cities and go on about how great the place is to compensate for the crap pay and conditions.

TEFL jobs that give you a list of prices, bread 12p, tomatoes 8p a kilo but forget to tell you all the things that are more expensive.

Make sure you sitting down 31 I am about to say something else negative. That drummer boy during Ramadan that comes to your door and asks for money for waking you up at some ridiculous time in the morning.

I actually prefer mayo with chips(british English) or Branston pickle
There's a thought why is it easy to find Branston and Bisto in northern Cyprus but not in Istanbul

Possibly because them brits were keepers of the the piece in the southern part, and they simple just sent it over the border, pehaps with a catapult.

MAYO AND CHIPS is one the finest things ever, only Chips, Chilli Con Carne, Irish Chedder and mayo can beat it.

mmmmmmm. branston

Yeah, I went to bruge (?), the beer there is fan-bleeding-tastic. It's very clean though. Amsterdam was the best though, they drench them chips over there.

Primus. lovely beer.
What I liked about Belgium was that there were German tourists and were knocking the stuff back. They didn't realise that Belgian beer is stronger than German beer. The result. very drunk Germans
