Thanks for the links! It's caused a post to start burbling in my little mind...<br /><br />I do wonder how the book would be received in Turkey by people who've never travelled. Sadly, I've heard sentiments like "You are gay and it makes me want to puke" several times.Strangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933997864575809110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799914692887174209.post-51478447679380850392010-01-15T12:37:09.460+02:002010-01-15T12:37:09.460+02:00Apropos of nothing in your post- sorry- I wanted t...Apropos of nothing in your post- sorry- I wanted to share something with you..

Your example could be one of the hottest- if it were not so confused.

Or their girlfriend's name. I imagine the graffiti artist gripping his writing tool, his teenage angst and anger welling up and just as he's about to write a bad word, he thinks of his mother and writes "Ahmet" instead. Or a not-very-bad word like bok.<br /> <br />You're not the only one from the forum that reads the blog-- at least I don't think so, though I don't imagine this wide readership. But no one will believe me if I say you're Baba.Strangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933997864575809110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799914692887174209.post-36326228741135449412009-12-08T22:26:24.308+02:002009-12-08T22:26:24.308+02:00Beylikduzu eh?
