Hope it works out for you holmej. It's very exciting isn't it?
Following on from Scunner's tips - Some things I've discovered since living here:
<> Turkey do NOT make any cheese that even remotely resembles cheddar. Despite what the cheese man will tell you.
<> Winter here is warm outside in the sun and like a fridge inside the house.
<> It is acceptable (just) to wear fleece trousers in winter to go to the local shop.
<> Microwaves are not a common appliance here and microwave plate covers are practically unheard of - bring some with you.
<> A silent slight raising of the eyebrows and tilt upwards of the chin means 'No'
<> You will become very popular with friends in the UK you didn't know you had and unearth family members you forgot about who all coincidentally 'love
Turkey'
<> You will derive untold of pleasure from drying all your washing outside in the space of 2 hours in the summer
<> You don't have to wash and iron your bedding ever again. The laundrettes here are cheap and will do it all for you.
<> The local car wash will wash all your rugs
<> You can leave your motorbike helmet on the bike and it will still be there when you come back from shopping
<> No one will ever give way to you when you are driving. You will wait FOREVER to get out of a side road onto a busy main road if you are waiting for
someone to let you out.
Others will tell you more holmej I'm sure.
