Hagi=shoe shine
« on: June 03, 2007, 00:48:48 AM »
Whenever we go to Fethiye for the first trip of an holiday the first of us to spot the shoe shine man Hagi has to buy the other one a large drink. A lovely guy who turns up all over the place. All the years we have been coming to Fethiye he doesn't seem to have any gray hairs, we wonder if he uses boot black instead of Grecian 2000.  Never too pushy and he always makes a good job of cleaning out dusty shoes.

my kids love Hagi, always go out of our way to have a drink with him in the DEEP BLUE. He did have some bad luck last year, I do hope he has sorted himself now.

Fab guy with the best memory for names.

Saw Hagi last week while we were in Fethiye having a drink. He stopped to say hello to us. Still has a big smile although he said trade was not very good. We were all wearing sandals so couldn't take him up on his offer to clean our shoes. It was really good to see him back to his usual self.

We saw him at the weekend too (wearing THE T shirt !), again he remembered us and is always so good humoured etc.  We too were wearing sandals, so no trade from us this time round, perhaps we should try to carry a spare pair in the car just in case we see him - best shoe shine in town !!!  Great chap.
