I will move to Türkiye in less than a month, but I can't cook!! I will have enough people around me who are willing to teach me, but I'd like it if I know some basic recipes already.

Just share easy recipes with me

Well, in February.. I ate lokum for breakfast everyday I just love it, especially the chocolate and strawberry ones. Ohhh.. just three more weeks..

But I do think that.. having so much variety in Turkish cuisine, so many 'special' things to choose from.. will make me long to the simple things I had in Holland
Only, Hagelslag and drop weight pretty much.. I can only htake 20kgs and need to pay 6€ for each kg extra. I've saved up for 15 more kgs, but I don't think I can take more

I'll have them sent


Maybe they do have in the bigger supermarkets, but on holiday I didn't see it anywhere. Obviously I will drink mostly Turkish tea because I love it, but Deniz was in London this summer for a course, and she brought me English tea

Is 'fazla' needed?

Thank you Derya That was a good example of how the meaning of two 'in learner's eyes the same words' can change the meaning of a text.

Someone please correct me. I've never been able to figure the usage of the word 'despite' out, so this seems a good excercise!

Well.. I hope someone can see whether I was right or wrong about this. I am not sure, but this is just what I figured after learning the word tanrı a while ago. I mean, Allah is not only used in Turkish, but also in other Muslim-countries. So to me it seemed very good possible that 'tanrı' would just be a common Turkish noun, whereas allah then is more defined and not a Turkish word.

But I'm still not sure But also glad I could be of any help

I have a huge headache and for some reason I feel sad. Im gonna get my book and then let sleep be my remedy, as my remedy is far away from me now.

I wish they had 'drop' (lacrice.. licorice.. how the hell do you spell it?) and 'hagelslag' (chocolate sprinkles for bread). Also, it seems rather hard to find fresh daily milk. But how can you make English tea if you don't have daily milk
