So,
A lot of you have, or are thinking of paying nearly £1,000 for the priviledge of living another 5 years in a place which,it would seem, as a lot of you are feeling, that in one way or another,you are being ripped off. From the booze at Migros to the blatantly rip-off money changer on Ataturk Cadessi. You complain of being both financially, racially and sexually (in some cases) abused. But still you want to be there!?
How many members of this forum have complained about being ripped off? and yet, you all seem to think that it is "God's own Country!!
Give me a break!! you folks ought to know that there is a life beyond Calis' or any other part of Turkey. Maybe some of you have been to other parts of the world and found them wanting - so? We can all do that wherever we are. I can understand that everybody wants their own piece of heaven. I hope you find it - because, as far as I am concerned, Turkey is not the place to look!
I predict that in less than three years the banking system will realise that,(as Doomsday prophecies have foretold) the Sterling/Euro will not maintain it's strength, and that they,(the banks) will start selling! Wholesale! Of course all of you that have put your money into that system will suffer, make no mistake! Whether to pay for your retirement or try to make a bundle in the banking system of Turkey, you are all at the whims of the institutions there. There is and never will be a "bigtime".
Give yourselves a wake up call folks,life is about to become reality, really expensive and not not at all what you dreamed it might be in the land of Turkey.
