1 week...

So it's been 1 week.

1 Week of new things. Getting lost. Confusion. Heat. And more.

But thank God I have a roof over my head and I am making progress. Language, as expected, is a huge barrier to overcome. It makes even the simplest task a lot harder. The other day I spent 1 hour shopping for a small basket of groceries. There are no recognizable brands and I have to check carefully to be sure what I'm buying is what I actually want. Of course all the labels are in Turkish so that makes it even more difficult!

But I'm managing and the guys here are very helpful. I'm only on a small dialup connection, so I can't spend much time online yet. Hopefully I can sort out an ADSL connection soon. Then I'll be free to send more.
