Title: Finally made it
Post by: number2 on May 26, 2007, 10:09:08 AM
DONE IT, we've finally sat on our balcony in Calis, and couldn't be happier, left everything behind us, no room for too many memories, just picked up a few and got in taxi, 23 years of them would have cost me a fortune in excess, besides that a four bedroomed house of furniture wouldn't fit in a two bedroom appartment, what i left behind i'll buy new, just wish i could talk Turkish, it's ok saying never too old to learn, but i aint even mastered English yet and i'm 59.

Man city towel would be, but it's faded that much you have trouble seeing it, and gt, yes i left the brick in England, i would also have an ice cold efes too but electrics only just come back on , so efes isn't so cold, it's been off since 5 this morning, but thanks all for the early replies. Alan. P.S. if anyone can get a city towel from their local market and bring it over I would be grateful, they are about £5, thank you

Alan - from one mancunian to another - good luck!

We hope to get out there in 3 years time and spend 6 months in Fethiye and 6 months in our flat in Lytham St Annes.

All the best - Ian

Ps I did support Man City for 3 years - which might sound odd but I had a neighbour / friend called Willie Donachie and tended to follow his teams / career (Oldham / Everton / Man City / Sheff Utd / Ipswich) - until he recently took over at Millwall !!!!

Alan.....Good Luck here in Turkey.  As for Turkish it is not easy but stick with it and you will get there.  If you learn just two words a day you will have quite a vocabulary by the end of a year! With 700+ words you will be able to communicate.....then it starts to get a little easier. Whatever you learn-Use it! :)
