OK Gypsy
I will say HI to your boyfriend and take the MOST beautiful pictures for you.
Wish you to visit Antalya very soon...

Hello, everybody!
I'm back after wonnnnnnnnnderful 10 days in Turkey.
I've seen alot, I met all my friends and made alot of new friendships. I'm definitely in love with Turkey.
So, since I've just came home, I'm pretty tired and confused, but next days I will try to find the way to share some of my expressions with you.
Just for beginning, I want to inform you that my Turkish friends gave me Turkish name - Sibel (since the pronouncing of my real name is pretty difficult for them), which I like very much and use it whenever I can.
But, I'm curious - does it name have some meaning?

P.S. I missed you all!

The name Sibel has several meanings in Turkish. One of those meanings is "powerful queen". Another meaning of this name is wheat spike.

hiiii Sibel
welcome back
we are verry happy that u came back next to us in the TC.
waiting as much as it takes for the photos.

So 'Sibel' - thanks to Ali for providing the meaning of 'Sibel' - which do you prefer to be thought of a 'powerful queen' or a 'wheat spike' hahahheheh - Sorry, I couldn't resist teasing you wheaty! Sibel is very nice whatever the meaning.

Hello my darling sestrichka,
Welcome back! I am glad we are here again. Maybe Sibel is wonderful name but for me you are "sestrichka i moy angel".
I know you could feel everything and happy to have you in my life.
With love Bliss

Thank you, everyone!
Thanks, Ali, for providing the meaning(s) of my new name, but... maybe you could find some more? Because I don't think that either of two mentioned fits me. Yes, they threated me there like a queen, but I didn't feel so powerful. As about "wheat spike", it could only have some connection with my ellegant figure!Hahaha... Maybe you should try with something simbolizing "kindness" and "tenderness"?
Daydreamer, your suggestions were precious for me. I bought Turkish Grammar for Foreign Students, instead of a book with short anegdotes I bought Antology of Turkish Love Poetry, and, instead of a Cosmopolitan I bought... well... silver ring with turquoise. I'm sure you'll understand me.
And your description of Antaya is, to be honest, as beautiful as Antalya itself. Hope you'll like photos I'm going to upload.
Kalimera, Georgia. Evharisto poli! Yes, Turkish people are as nice and hospitable as Greek people, which I know wery well and like so much! Did I taste their food? Of course I did. I thought I will die eating baklava and kadaif!
Bună, Mara, mulţumésc, my beautiful naighbour. I know how impatient you are, but you have to wait a little bit more, until I fix my impressions and prepare pics for uploading, ok?
Well, Lyndie, you have to know that I spent LAST 10 euro of my money to buy CD of your beloved Ismail YK in Antalya airport duty freeshop! But I forgive you.
Honestly. You can call me the Quinn or Wheat spike, everything is allowed to you. Because your essays, your posts, your suggestions were all the time on my mind, and this helped me to concentrate my attention and to understand the greatest wealth of Turkey – their people. Friendships I made during my visit are something which can't be payed with anything and I keep it in my heart like greatest treasure. Thanks, Lyndie.
My beloved Bliss, my sister which faith forget to give me, you suffering casted the only shadow to sunny days of my vacation. Thank you for trying to spare me from common suffering, for trying not to ruin my instant happines. I'm also happy to have you in my life, and I know that it will last a long, long time.
Thanks again to everyone. I'll try to fulfill your expectations.
Love,
Slavica/Sibel
