Quoting Lyndie: I had an interesting experience in Turkey last week which I would like to share.
I spent the week with the boy I am sponsoring to come to England. I went alone and stayed with him and his family.
Whenever we went out together, to the town and especially when we went on the bus to Ankara. He would always take me to the toilet, pay for everything, buy the food, organise the taxis, even buying my water for me. I was quite capable of doing all of these things, but he never once let me go in a shop alone or be alone anywhere. I wanted to go out one day for a walk and he couldn't come because he was helping his mother cook. He tried to stop me going because he said it was 'dangerous' - I wanted to go up the mountain a bit - There was a road by the way. I asked what the danger was and he said dogs, wolves and bad people! I got my own way and went. I saw him watching me over the balcony of his apartment and before long he had come out to look for me.
When we went walking in Izmir, he kept calling me back to walk beside him if I strayed too far away and said it was because everyone was looking at me.
On the plus side. I never had to carry a single thing, if I wanted to be looked after he did it beautifully. All I had to do really was ask and I got what I wanted. I wasn't used to this (being English and independent) but actually I liked it but i guess it would get annoying if it went on for too long. It was different in the house though because then he expected me to look after him (even though his mother was also looking after him  ) On the whole - it was good.
Anyone else had this kind of experience? What do the turkish boys think of this - duskahvesi, freshman, attila, would you 'look after' me this way if I were in Istanbul? Would you carry my bags? Fetch me food and water? Take me to the toilet? protect me from dogs, wolves and bad people? Pay all my expenses?  |
