 Oh honey, you should be congratulating yourself, not Joey. You remembered all those things correcty and so detailed that I think that if we gave you a paper, you would be able to draw Turkey's map with the mountains and the rivers in it.
 
 Aferin sana kiz!

  Thanks Sophie  It's quite ironic though, my old geography teacher always shouted at me for never paying attention in his class and that I would fail miserably (ok he had a fair point about not paying attention in his class, hehe). mmmm I might print this off as evidence to show him he was wrong haha! |  |  |
