Ah yes, I´m getting it for myself But it seems much easier for me to explain myself by saying ´my family wants me to´ ... The real reason (If I get married I want to do it good and have two weddings with a lot of everything, so we need to save money for a LONG time) seems a bit spoiled

I´m a non-smoker, but I never minded people smoking, except for restaurants. I think the smell of smoke ruins the dishes. But now that smoking is banned, I really enjoy the fresh air! I don´t have red eyes anymore after going a night out, my hair and clothes don´t smell like smoke anymore, it´s great! I do feel a bit bad sometimes for the people who are standing outside in the cold, but...oh well, shhhh happens.

Oh, and I did tell my partner that I would want him to quit somewhere in the future, the first week we were dating. I thinks it´s fair to say that at the beginning, not after a year or so That way you both now what your expectations are. I saw too many people get hurt from smoking, and I love him, so I want to get old and wrinkly with him VERY old Lucky me, he quit a half year ago!

eid mubarak

And now back to the kitchen for me! I´m having a ladies-bayram here in Holland Watching Dirty Dancing while over-eating, sounds like a real holiday to me!

Talking about Arabic words/names in Turkish, I had a big discussion about wether it is really ramaZan or ramaDan, which sounds the most like the original Arabic...Anybody know? I soooo want to be right about this one

 Well, it´s a good thing that he doesn´t say that than, isn´t it I explained to him that my family wouldn´t be thrilled if I got married before I got my final university diploma, hence the not marrying yet. It has nothing to do with him being muslim and me being something else

 I don´t drink alcohol, remember

OOHHHH soooo typical, the western girl must be DRUNK (insert sarcastic tone here )

pfff, when did all men get so smart? My partner always says "nooo, nobody said anything to me about me dating a Western girl, everybody loves you, it´s wonderfullll, grrrrreat!" ...hard time believing that He did have a problem with me not being able to make Turkish tea the first time he asked me for tea... but that´s all he ever expressed to me about cultural problems

No, that´s not saying that everybody in Turkey is muslim, that is just plain math.

Let´s say, all muslim men can marry non-muslim women, and all muslim women can not marry non-muslim men. If then the vast VAST majority if Turkish people are muslim (which is a fact, not a stereotype) simple chance calculation would predict more Turkish men with non-muslim women then Turkish women with non-muslim men. And at the same time, this fact would also mean that they can find more non-muslim from abroad then non-muslims from the country itself... did you get it Ah, math...numbers... i LOVE IT!

But I did not say all Turkish men are muslim

when did i say all turkish men are muslims...quote please

mmm, my bf gave me two phones and I gave him none... I´m wondering if I´m one of those toyboys that they always warn you about...only...not Turkish...and a girl...
