Thank you!!

Could someone translate or give me a similar turkish proverb of:

"You are making a mountain out of a mole hill"

Meaning you are making a big issue of something very small.

Thanks

There is one other option you could look at....

Why not apply for a job for a Canadian/English/American company who have a base in Turkey (such as a holiday company). You'll find you probably work hard shifts and get paid the minimum wage but you would probably have all the employment protection as if you were working in Canada.

If I took this option I'd want to make sure the company was doing good for Turkey (e.g. making the country money or bringing in tourism) as I wouldn't want to feel like I was taking from them.

My sister lived in Marmaris for 3 months and managed to find a resort apartment to live in which was fairly cheap (approx £250 per month). She bought food from supermarkets as oppose to eating out and spent her money sensibly. She idd fine and loved her time out there!

My final bit of advice would be to save as much money as you can in Canada and use it as a 'desperate fund'. Only dip into it if you really need to and make sure you have enough money for a ticket home should you need it (tickets to London are as cheap as £5.

Gunaydin,

Could someone help me by translating this part of a message please:-

"(Name) böyle şeyleri sever, ve ihtiyacıda vardı. yardımcı olabildiysem sevinirim..."


Teşekkürler,
Laura

Would someone kindly translate the following:-

"Dear (name)

Thank you very very much for the beautiful hat & scarf that you made for me. I still cant believe that you made them yourself - you are very talented, I am useless at knitting but we are never taught how to do these things in England!

It was really lovely to meet you, thank you for making me feel very welcome in your family. I plan to come back to Antalya in July and hopefully I will see you again then - perhaps I can try to make you a gift but you must promise not to laugh if it is rubbish!!

See you soon!

With love,
Laura

P.s. I hope your teacher liked your English homework!!!"

Thank you in advance!

This is one of my first translations and I'm sure it will need adjusting, maybe someone else can look too...!
