Ok...right where did i leave off last time? Ahhhh yea the trip!!!

Anyway after the Capadokia trip i lived with the insanely rich people and there both doctors. The Father Selam manages many Doctors at the Mavisheir Medical Plaza. And the mother is a dermatologist and i have acne, lucky me...X(. Anyway we get along farely well and their sons are like my Brothers and recently we went to bowling tournament and got into the semifinals! I got a few pictures of that i will send in soon enough ;).

OHHH YAA and i also went to a paraid for Ataturk they have at least once a year!!! Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is THE MOST important person in Turkey if you insult him you get hurt!!!and most of all the Turkish people are all nationalists with much pride in their country!! The was an incedint when some Galatasury (a Turkish Euro Cup Team) activists and Liverpool (a England Euro Cup Team) activists played a soccer game. One of the Liverpool activists got drunk and dropped the Turkish flag and stepped on it...afterward the Turkish activists killed him.

So disgracing anything that has to do with Ataturk or Turkey's history is EXTREMELY dangerous. And Soccer in Turkey is taken very seriously!!! Soccer matches in Turkey get bloody!!! I'll even send rotary some pictures! =). Nah im just playing! i dont have any of those pictures yet...but as i was saying before about soccer. There are 5 major teams in Turkey Fehnerbace, Galatasury, Karsiaka, and Gostepe. The rivals are Galatasury and Fehnerbace; Gostepe and Karsiaka. Besiktas is nutural.

Their was one time when i wore Red and Yellow (Gostepe) to Karsiaka on a game day!!! I got chased by a small group of Karsiaka supporters and i started to curse at them in English. After they laughed because they figured out i was American and i just worsed the wrong colors on the wrong day!! I dont think they were gonna kill me just hurt me really bad. But now after Selam im staying with the original family the Korkuts again and everything is still awesome!!!

i will send my next report about my new year soon
