Evet lutfen

Hello,

          First I will explain my title and then would really appreciate some translation.  I came over to the U.K. a week ago and before I came I was checking-in when a few girls asked me if I could help this young man who wanted to travel from London Stansted to Bournemouth where he is studying.  I did help him and got him a coach ticket and he managed to get on his coach, he gave me his e-mail and I told him I would send him an e-mail as soon as I could, here is his name I am not sure if it is correct or it is a nickname Cagatoy?  Here is the message I would like to send him.

Hi Cagatoy?

                  This is Richard I met you in Istanbul airport and your family and friends and helped you when you arrived at London Stansted to then travel onto Bournemouth.  I hope you got there safe and when you return to Turkey you must look me and my wife up.  I wish you the best in the U.K.

Rich

Thanks everyone, nice to hear from you all also

Hello all,

             I hope we are all well? been a while again since I last wrote but I am still very interested in this website. I thought I would give you an update on life so far in Istanbul for a British guy. I am now teaching English with a qualified English teacher in tow, I will very shortly start a TEFOL course but so far have the vast knowledge of my new friend and teacher Gill who I met in Istanbul some months ago.

I am searching for a job now as much as I was before but have not yet had any success unfortunately so I have still thought about the prospect of leaving Turkey before I finish my expected two years here. I would ideally prefer to not go down the teaching route but if there is nothing else suitable then I might just have to study harder and make an attempt at teaching. My wife is fine and we both enjoy married life from the first day we got married to the present, we have a little ´kedi´ now that I could never do without she is lovely six month old black and white female who I named ´Daisy Duke´ after a U.S. programme featuring Catherine Bach, you probably know the drama?

I am in the U.K. at the moment visiting family and friends and hopefully will get a ticket to watch my beloved football team, here´s hoping anyway hope all is well here and everyone take care

Best wishes Rich & Nesrin

Hello,

         My wife has sometime off later in this month and we both decided we need a short break from Istanbul for a few days alone.  We have looked at many different places including Antayla, Bodrum, Fetiye and various other places but have yet to make a decision.

We do not have a great deal of money to spend on this short holiday and would welcome some good ideas from the class, the further we go the less time we will have and also the cost of travel will limit where we will go.  I suggested to my wife we visit Princes Island and stay there but as she pointed out it would be easy to get there but the hotels would be expensive.  Would appreciate any help

Thanks  

Hello all,

             First of all I would like to thank all the members here who offered their help for myself in finding a job and offering to look over my CV.  I have been offline for sometime and could not access a computer only from an internet cafe.  I am sorry it has been so long since I wrote a post last but I will let you know my current position.

I met an English couple some months ago and my wife and myself have become good friends with them, the lady is an English teacher although semi-retired she is living in Istanbul like myself for two years with her husband, who is working here after being transferred from the U.K.  We are both going to teach English to Turkish students and have so far been working on presenting our classes, with my friend Gill she has vast experience of teaching and in particular the subject of English so we are both going to work together on this and hopefully we can teach English on a two to one basis.  I have plans to possibly go back to the U.K. for sometime and re-enter the hospital environment, and then come back to Turkey after a short period.

Hope everyone is well and thanks again for the members who offered to help me, namely Marion and cacık and nan_1971
