i would like to share these mails i have received from Aslan:


Dear Miss_c!
I don´t have any idea what so ever what happened to you...but I am so sorry for you and for not being able to go to Turkey as planned. Miss_c, you are such an intelligent and strong young woman, I truelly wish you all the best and hope that your problems can be solved and that you will have the power to overcome whatever has occured.
I wish there was something I could do for you, because I know how much you have yearned for this journey and how much effort you have put in learning turkish. You are a wonderful example of a young woman that has so many gifts and I know you will succeed in life whatever goals you put up for yourself!
I wish my daughters will show as much intelligence, integrity, humour, love, energy and beauty as you and Deli-kizin. You 2 impress me every day with your intelligent and relevant postings at tc, though lately I have missed you much (besides the fact that I can´t follow you when you write in turkish).

Kendine iyi bak!

I wish you the best...and remember...that one day you will be able to look back at this experience and you will see that you learned something about life that you could not have learned otherwise, being good or bad...this is what we can do with everything that hurt us and affect us in life. I wish there was an easier way for you, my friend, and I don´t think you deserve it! But still I hope that you can see the light on the other side...

Best wishes and kisses,
yours truelly,
Aslan also known as Cathrine



Oh, miss_c, I was so glad to hear from you and to see that you keep your sparkle and spirit that I so much admire with you. And I hope that one day you will find that it is not a contradiction to take each day as it comes and still live with a plan. But as you so wisely say - you never know what is around the corner. That is the most awful and at the same time the most exciting marvellous thing about being alive. The day we only meet what we expect from life...then we all will be bored stiff. Still...I think that whatever gossip was told in some turkish village is so unfair towards a woman of your caliber. I hope their tongues will rotten (however that is spelled)!

Dear miss_c, I just read your posting about what happened. I don´t know much about the circumstances but I still have some questions according to what you wrote. I find it really tragic if you will lose big part of your family. How can you be sure everybody believes the lies about you? I know that in a culture like the turkish one there is always very much respect towards the elder...which means that if some elder say lies it is most unlikely that the rest will say anything against this person. That would be considered really rude. But that does not mean that they really believe this person... At least this was my experience when it comes to the peruvian culture. My ex is from Peru and I was married with him for 13 years...



What does your father say about this? Can he see what the motives are? Is she trying to take revenge for something that have not even got to do with you? Sorry for being curious...and it is not primarily because I am only being curious...but because I think that old bitches mainly have a reason for their behaviour... (I am an old bitch myself you know)





i will reply later.. aşkım has come on line and i have to speak to him.. please carry on with this thread guys. i will like to read your replies later...

Wow ASLAN . If only I could hug the both of you right now

...I wish the same!

This is girl power at its best. Why am I not surprised to see such warm and generous posts from Aslan? Well I'm not surprised because she is a warm and generous person.

Princess. I am also sorry about this, but I think you are completely right about them not changing. Dont judge them too harshly, they have absolutely no idea of the life you lead or the things that influence you and they have no idea who the real you is. Take a leaf from Deli_Kizin's book, she is just focused on her life and her path to Izmir, despite the problems.

BUT Ceyda! Get your degree and your teaching qualification first please. You were not born to be holed up in Trabzon, you know it and everyone who knows you knows it! ( I am not as kind as Aslan!)

Kisses and hugs!

This is what happens when people prefer personal gossip to a deep and meaningful discussion on "Energy Geopolitics".

You cant say I did not try to lead you girls into the right direction.

Canım kızım! the chances of my having any kids of school age when i am living in Turkey are remote, if not almost (and I stress the word 'almost') biologically impossible...but of course I'll encourage you to take yours to Miss C for perfect English lessons! While we shop, tame our 'men' (I dont intend having a husband) and be generally good! I intend to provide free employees rights advice to people working in the tourist industry.
