I was in Beşiktaş with the in-laws and we decided to wait until 8 to miss the "rush hour" and the traffic was incredible. It took us an hour and a half to get from Beşiktaş to Yeni Bosna by taxi. I have never seen anything like it-the weather was fine and there were no accidents. From Yeni Bosna south it was the same and a journey of an hour took us about 3 hours.

What is going on?

Ohhhhhhhhhh, that was YOU!

I heard on the radio about the practical joke they wanted to play on a foreigner. They asked for volunteers. You know, watch him then when he leaves everyone pull out in front of him... Laughing

More likely to have been a group of drunken TEFLers sobbing their hearts out on E5. Just been evicted whıle they were TEFLing and have no money and nowhere to go. They called the consulate but they were not interested because they have heard the TEFL sob story so many times.

No that feeling is because you are still drunk from last night. Still, why do a TEFL job sober when you can get away with being hungover. Save the sober days for when you are not working.

Down half a litre of vişne suyu-that delicious sharp cool taste will make you feel much better. Do not drink işkembe �orbası.

I blame it on TEFL and drink but it is a bit chicken and egg.

Tekirdağ

Can you post a photo of yourself. One where you are dressed up or even better one of you on the beach. Of course if your husband won't let you we will understand.
