My father is 84 and coming for the first time to Turkey in 7 days. He is not thick by any means but my stepmother is. She reads silly Facebook posts and that inspires fear to kill his trip.

I despair.

But how many people back in UK, Germany, Russia, Holland etc who have a property in Fethiye have been stressed to hell today having seen that posted on Facebook. It's pathetic and irresponsible in the extreme, please ask people to stop, and delete.

again i get all calmed down and now im a freaking nut job again!
my turkish neighbours are sleeping outside again tonight and that got me nervous, my bf called me on his way to work saying he can get his friend to bring his car near our house so i can sit in that this evening and i said no its ok, didnt even get off the phone and felt the whole kitchen move! needless to say, i am not staying here tonight, going to sit somwhere where no buildings are.

its driving me insane, you can see i sound nuts, i feel frigging nuts.

i handed my passport over to the visa police today to get my residency, regretting that. if my bf still had his tourist visa for the uk and i had my passport id be on the first plane home.

experiencing this has made me realise im not cut out for living here, at all! sorry for the negativeness, its really getting to me as you can tell. need someone to slap me around the face and tell me im being an idiot, but seems im not the only one!

No, you're not the only one.

Living in Turkey comes with the risk of earthquakes. This is something everybody knows but being confronted with earthquakes on a daily basis is a different story.

I'm not ashamed to say that I have actually left Fethiye yesterday. Friends from Alanya were supposed to come for a visit but they decided not to. After the afternoon tremor I decided that I would visit them. Packed my bag, strapped my daughter in her seat and took off.

If it wasn't for my daughter, I would most likely have stayed. But I don't want to expose my 2 year old to (potentially) dangerous situations when I have the possibility to avoid these risks.
