HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH AWFUL

Thank you Cyrano You're the hero of the day, together with the embassy!!

It works!! Sending them Turkish mails!! Replies on earlier English and Dutch replies were always sooo late or didn't come at all..

Anyway, thank you for the fast reply Cyrano

Obviously not He's gone
Any otehr volunteers? It's just three liiiiinesss!

Cyrano!! HELP You speak Turkish!!

You say you are here to improve your English.. but I think it is very fine.. so please help me improve my Turkish and translate this for me, as my parents are really freaked out about their daughter having a 'tek giriş vize' and it seems to me that the reply of the embassy is positive!!

HELP

I think the one Lapinkulta said could be right: Pamela with Istanbul.

I don't think Istanbul istanbul Olali by Sezen will be played in a club, it's not a dancy song. But a remix of Pamela is very good possible.

You can easily download it, it's a bit rocky.

Can someone translate the reply of the embassy for me?

Thanks in advance, and I'm sorry about hte weird characters due to a western pc i guess!

I think it will show itself. When I met Kadir's parents, I was nervous too. But they are very modern people and we shook hands and kissed both cheeks. It was a bit embarrassing as in Holland we kiss three times: the first cheek gets a second kiss.
So I moved to give the third, and there was no cheek

I would behave like you usually do. If they are open-minded people, they will understand that you don't know the cultural code, and just saying one or two things in Turkish, will show them that at least you try

When I first met Kadir's mum, I said 'çok memnun oldum'. She smiled 'ohh so cute' gibi, so I figure this is only said when leaving

The next morning (Kadir and I got separate bedrooms and I stayed in a room with my younger sister), I offered to help with the breakfast, so she told me to cut the bread and pour the tea. Though I don't consider myself to be an adult and I'm sure that Kadir's previous girlfriends will have looked older, I'm sure his mother would never have treated them the friendly way she treated me. Kadir's parents don't speak English very well, so they spoke Turkish to me and I replied them in basic, 'mistake-full' Turkish. But I showed that I tried

I think it is all about your attitude: just be friendly and open and let them know that you really appreciate their invitation.

I agree with Erdinç.. the hand-kissing thing is really not a good idea. Before Kadir and I left the pansiyon he stayed in, the family of the owner (we became friendly with them), came to wave us goodbye. Kadir shook hands and kissed and I followed. One of the elder woman, who was a lovely, small, woman just grabbed my hand and I kissed and she put it on my forehead. So.. if someone really has the intention to do this to you, they will already probably do so

Like Erdinç said.. I'd be warned though.. Maybe they will just smile, because they don't usually do it, but understand that you read it probably in a travel-guide.. but maybe they expected you to do so anyway. In that case..
