Everyone is not plural, it's a singular word-form. It is a word that has a plural meaning, but the word itself is singular.
In English you also say:
How IS everyone, and not
How ARE everyone, right?
And i've never seen 'nasıllar' yet.. i think it is one of those things in which the -lar- falls away.
(everyone is like police and forest.. the words have a plural meaning: more than one police-officer and a group of trees. Yet, you use the word as a singular one, because it's ONE group of things)

I should learn not to try and write Türkçe when I am still asleep and have not had coffee yet - it is so early 
Saat onu yirmi beş geçiyor!

 Are you sure you can handle this? It's a strong aphrodisiac( or so they say- how can I know?  )so you'd better save it for later, when Kadir will be around!

But I managed just fine I got used to the fact I can't always have what i want straight away. Oh hey, just two months and i'll be close to a ref which is always filled with yoghurt and a man who either sleeps in my bed or lives just around the corner. And no fear for high phonebills anymore, so i can call whenever i want to

That's the most exciting part you know. That behind every turkish thing there is something greek and vise versa! I just wish there would be more people able to see that.

Oh but please don't tell me that kafè frappè (however you spell it with latin characters) is Turkish too. That always was my sacred Greek thing that i wish for every summer!!
Hey do Turkish people need a visa if they want to visit Greek islands in the Turkish coastline? And how does that work?

Cafe' Frappe' is absolutely greek and the biggest invention of the human kind! 
I ve taught to some friends at a hotel near the turkish-greek borders how to do it and bought them all the needed equipment. Turks have to learn how to do that!
As for the visa, yes, I think they do need one to visit the greek islands. Unfortunately

Ohh i'd like to hear how to do it! And what equipment do you need for it then?
I think my mum used to make it when i was quite little, but those days seem long forgotten..
Too bad about the visa, would be great to take Kadir to a Greek island for a long weekend.
