It's starting to look like...

I can take "learn Turkish" off my to - do list.

I tried to wave a man ahead of us in line at the grocery store this morning.   We had two full carts and he had a basket.

Not only did he refuse; he started a conversation with me about who we are and what we were doing in Gelibolu in ENGLISH!

In the five years we've been here I can count on one hand the number of times a man has spoken to me (never).  Men speak if Cam's with me (he wasn't this morning) and we are introduced, but never when I am on my own or with the children.

Every time I turn around lately, someone else is speaking to me in English.
