Turkce Bilmiyorum

The Language gods are frisky today…we spent our afternoon in class and had the pleasure of being joined by an eccentric English lady who was well past her prime…(believe me)…who must have said “Why doesn’t everyone just learn English?”…about 20 times. I honestly think that she thinks…that she can speak Turkish. But, even to this poor pathetic linguist…it’s a complete rout and I don’t hold out much hope for her. Why? Because it is hard to learn when you’re the only one talking...sorry, my vent popped open.

Shopping in the Spice Bazaar

While this was supposed to be a private series of lessons….there was a goof up and other students showed up for the start of this season. The good news is that they cut the rate for us by 30% due to the mixup.
We rounded out the day by crossing to the European side and picking up some fabric in the Egyptian Spice Bazaar. Another crossing back to Asia…a hectic commute home and back in time for dinner. Ramadan begins in 4 days...gotta eat while we can.
