Congratulations on the new house, Kristin!!
Your world is so different there. I'm surrounded by sameness everywhere I turn. Goats, cows, horses, now that's a language I can speak.
Congrats on signing the papers! If that's a pic of it, it's very pretty.
Diann, that's how I WAS living. Can you imagine for me? Ugh. LOL
Ahh, but you speak the language of a heart filled with the Spirit. So much more important.
Yea! House! City! woohoo!
Congrats on the house! Does this mean you get to buy a new pair of celebratory shoes too? ;)
We went to a Turkish restaurant recently, I loved it! Some of the best food I've ever had! Mmmmm!
All right, I have to say I don't know what to do with myself when I'm around "sameness." I go into culture shock every time I travel to the mainland. It's just weird to blend in with the haoles instead of standing out. Kristin, I feel your pain on that one. Give me diversity every day.
Congrats on the new house!
Congrats on the new house!! And I'll sit anywhere to enjoy a coffee. :o)
When my youngest son started managing a restaurant, he picked up Spanish and the culture so rapidly, I couldn't believe it. And he speaks it fluently. Amazing.
He used to go in early and fix all his employees breakfast. I think it was bribery, though. The gals would fix him these wonderful Mexican dishes - the kind you never get in a restaurant. Yum!
Congrats on the house, Kristin! A dear British friend of mine spent a number of years as a missionary in Turkey. We find any excuse possible to drive the forty-five minutes to the nearest Turkish restaurant. Yum!! I'll make sure to learn from your faux-pas and avoid ordering a drink to go!
WOO HOOO....congrats on signing on the new house! I want pix!!!!
I know what you mean....my daughter just went to a classmate's bday party this past weekend and the little girl is Turkish. It was neat to hear my daughter understanding some of the common Turkish terms and interact. Of course, me being the writer that I am, I began asking all sorts of questions of the family about their culture...for research purposes, of course, but it was SO interesting.
Kristin, if you had been in the same restaurant but it had been in Turkey, there would have been other children who were making just as much noise--maybe even more--and no one would have cared all that much. They're kids. They're supposed to make noise. I'm glad he suggested you drink the Turkish coffee there. :)
Speaking of Turkish coffee, know what happened the first time I had Turkish coffee? I was new in Turkey and I went to a neighbor's. I didn't speak Turkish and she didn't speak English. She served me Turkish coffee. It was the first time I'd ever had Turkish coffee. I wanted desperately to fit in and be culturally appropriate, so I drank the whole cup--even the grounds. (The grounds were pretty awful tasting, actually.) Later, when I knew some Turkish, she told me it was the first time she'd ever seen anyone do that, but she didn't want to say anything if that's what they did in America. LOL!
P.S. Congratulations on getting the house!!
Congrats on that new house--yay! Loved the post. I'm from LA :)
Oh, congratulations! :) I'm really happy for you! woo hoo.
On the accent thing, we have a new doctor at work. She's Chinese. The past 2 weeks have been acrobatics for my hearing making sure I know *exactly* what she's trying to say as I transcribe. :)
Congrats on the new house. :)
If I ever get down there for a visit, you have got to take me to some of these interesting places. There is so much I have yet to explore. :)
