Hi Folks
My partner and i are coming back to our aprtment in calis. we have been coming to this area for about 5 years now. its crunch time, my partner will apply for residency to see if she can settle. i on the other hand have family commitments, grandchild on the way and work etc. if she can get into the right groups both social and a bit of learning then hopefully she will be at home. I am sure many of you have had these decisions to make leaving family and friends for a more relaxed well at least sunny days.
I am hoping that i will be able to join her when things have settled down with the family in the uk.
We do feel prepared for the turkey lifestyle. We have a saying turkey time!!! things may not get delivered because its raining!!! electric goes on or off, young men showing interest, eating food no matter if you are hungry as your turkish neighbours would be insulted if you didnt!!!! etc.
We were even there in the earthquake. but you cant beat the sun sets, the feeling of the warmth, except hight of summer then we worship the great god klima aircon!!!
we have made some good friends in our turkish neighbours. and always put on weight through their hospitality, even though we do dance.
So any advice would be appreciated and we look forward to perhaps some of you becoming our friends.
