dont forget to sing loch lomond with your hand on your heart all the way north "patriotic sniffles"

I worked the morning shift, made a ****load of fresh orange juices for customers, a few banana smoothies and took a lot of drink orders. I told a boat-load of aussies (literally, they'd just finished a boat cruise) all about bus schedules and tours our hostel offers, and after work walked down the path past a group of 2000 year old ruins and to the beautiful beach 10 minutes away from me. Then I went back to our hostel, worked on my online TEFL course for a couple of hours, and now im killing time before the other girls finish their night shift so we can have our movie night.

I accidentally moved to turkey this summer. I'm currently living at a hostel at a beach resort on the southern mediterranean coast working behind the bar. In september I'll move to istanbul to teach english and save up money so i can travel the middle east next year. I meant to come home on the first of june. oops.

Accidentally moved to Turkey. :| Your life is incredible.

I started off just traveling for a month in turkey. then i stumbled into a job at the hostel and pushed my return ticket back a month. then i decided i wanted to stay for the summer and pushed it back to the end of august. then I decided i didnt want to go home at all and cancelled my reservation for my return flight altogether. after that i heard how easy it was to get a teaching job in istanbul, and since pretty much everyone working in the town i live in now will be in istanbul over the winter, it was a pretty easy decision. so i accidentally moved to turkey.

:laughing: Wow.

Turkey is amazing. My family took a week long (or two, I forget) trip there and we hit up Selçuk, Cappadocia, and Istanbul. All of them were awesome and very different from each other. I strongly recommend visiting Selçuk and Cappadocia if you get the chance, they both are so much different from anything in North America.

By the way, did anyone else besides me notice the Tags in this thread?

There sure are a lot of phallic objects in Turkey.

Yeah, I was watching a documentary about Turkey the other day and they had a segment about those odd rock formations which they named "chimneys". I was like...that's not exactly what comes to mind when I see those things...*gigglegigglehappysigh*

But yeah, very jelous of anyone who's been to Turkey, it looks like an amazing place to visit/live in.

Gonna go to Istanbul next summer http://i29.tinypic.com/i20kut.gif
Those pics are awesome z.

I wish I could have seen Hagia Sophia before it was islamafied and pillaged by catholics, not that it isn't amazing now though.
