alameda..that reminds me of an old song my Grandmother used to play all the time. Definately a reflection of a different time.
If You Wanna Be Happy
By Jimmy Soul
If you wanna be happy
For the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife,
So from my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.
A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall.
As soon as he marries her
Then she starts to do
The things that will break his heart.
But if you make an ugly woman your wife,
You´ll be happy for the rest of your life,
An ugly woman cooks her meals on time,
She´ll always give you peace of mind.
Don´t let your friends say
You have no taste,
Go ahead and marry anyway,
Though her face is ugly,
Her eyes don´t match,
Take it from me she´s a better catch.
Say man.
Hey baby.
Saw your wife the other day.
Yeah?
Yeah, she´s ugly.
Yeah, she´s ugly but she sure can cook.
Yeah?. Okay.

Ha ha .... Great song, and a lot of truth to that...but you see if you are wearing your burka, who knows if you are ugly or pretty?

Oh I´ll tell you what they want.
FIRST THEY WANT TO F**K YOU.
THEN THEY WANT TO LICK YOU.
THEN THEY WANT TO TAKE YOUR MONEY AND SEND YOU ON YOUR WAY *starts crying* LIKE A DAMN LOVE LETTER. Thats what.
Wow ... that´s pretty bitter, and a pretty critical generalization of a whole nation. I know that all Turks are not like that, and many westerners and other europeans ARE just like that. There are good and bad everywhere ... 
I agree, there are bad and good peoples everywhere in the word. by the way, there are many turk lokantasi near my home and I admire their owners (turkish peoples working in my town) every day; they clean inner, outer, in front of their markets, hourly; but my connational not..we have to learn from they how to sell our good and how to be a good neighbour; they have always a smile on face, even it is just for trade...

one thing irritates me. isnt there any consideration for foreigners?
doesnt any signle turk come up with an idea of tolerance?
e.g. a foreign person doesnt know the customs thus behaves the way s/he behaves?
when a foreigner comes to my country I know she or he hasnt got a clue of customs, so I dont expect anything. nobody expects anything. we just know that they are foreigners. we are there to help them, to make sure that they feel home.
i mean what an arrogance to expect your guest to know the rules and stupid customs (yes, very stupid idiotic customs) and then to get angry if not followed?
You describe me me me!!!!

Well, you certainly can see a lot, and surmise a lot out of what you see.....good leg musculature ....should be able to walk, run stand....can stand and walk in strange foot devices....indicates she is versatile
