Its funny but everyone i meet through my job in turkey says how lucky i am to be 'living the perfect life' and in some ways i am, but people never realise the hard work and long hours that go into a job here they almost always see it from the holiday point of view - which by the way it isnt.

I was sat in a restaurant with my husband last night and we had sat and finished our meal (which by the way was lovely) and i just took a step back and realised what a perfect service they gave. The garson was sweepingup the crumbs from our table with a mini brush and pan and i just thought these people work so hard for virtually little money and it made me so upset. I wish the turkish economy will oneday rise so that everyone can be treated as equal here.

Quoting MrX67:

Well, this is a wish we all have, especially as most of us are not rich. But -even though i know how pessimistc this sounds- I see that each coming year is worse than the previous one for the world's economy. And instead of bridging the distance between poor and rich, somehow, we are making it bigger. So rich are getting richer and poor poorer.

yess i agree Sophie,but i think the main problem humans get loss their hearts when they get more money.Money is just a tool for make it easier the life and make happier to others,but pity people prefer to save it more then share

I must admit living in England seems to make you need money, put aside all the bills etc i never could enjoy england without money but here in Turkey you dont seem to need it as there are so many things to do which dont involve money i.e go to the beach, stroll along the sea front, meet with friends by the pool, read, chatter with family - all these things cost nothing, i guess that that might have a lot to do with the weather though

Trust me, they sleep like birds! They don't need a clear conscience to sleep, because they just don't have a conscience.

Thank you, but that is really the truth. everyday your country amazes me,it did 7 years ago and it still carries on to this day and im sure for many more years.

I would rather be poor and happy than rich and sad
