I'm a Libra too

Thank you

Elisa is right. And it indeed is called taksit. I saw it everywhere too in Izmir.

In Holland we only have it on expensive things like LCD Televisions, computer related things, refridgerators. Things you might suddenly need when they get broken, but are too expensive to buy just at once.

I wondered also this thing: In Holland you can have an 'abonne' on a phone-company: you pay them around 40YTL each month and for this money you get credits ánd a free phone. The newest models can be picked, but you have to be attached to the phonecompany with 40YTL for 1 or 2 years. Do they have this in Turkey too?

I heard about those wages. I compared to one of my friends and if I would work fulltime in my un-educated waitress job, I'd earn almost twice as much in Holland, wehreas the friend had a job after studying!!

Seticio is really right about the comparison being made.

For Turkish standards, I come from a very rich family. And my dad is a teacher!! I can easily make 700YTL a month in Holland, in an uneducated job, if I'd work fulltime. But for Dutch standards, I'm just an average girl. I don't buy so many designer clothes, I don't go out every weekend, going to the cinema costs me around 18YTL and the popcorn is at least 8YTL. Holland is an expensive country and our fuel is in the same price-category as Turkey (this even reached a Turkish newspaper ).

But I wonder about the Turkish payment system. Kadir has many bankaccounts and a creditcard. I understood it had to do with interest. I have just one bankaccount and I know nothin about interest! So what's it about? It's not like you use a different bankaccount for a different shop, or is it??
