I park up by Teoman's pre-school then walk through the lojman - campus housing - down to the school. The busses and parents are zooming up and down the road - as per usual - much to all of the American's shock and horror. The international staff, for the most part don't experience what the rest of Turkey is like on the road. I was walking down to school and got the tail end of a woman in her early 60s clutching a walking stick and hollering at a BMW for speeding. The Beamer stopped, backed up, and rolled down his window and asked her name. She gave it without blinking and continued hollering at him, pointing her finger "NO, YOUR WERE GOING TOO FAST!" Like a good 'old school marm.
Turks are afraid of losing their jobs, they respect money and position. American's don't care. I'm right, you are wrong. Go ahead and fire me. (She said exactly that to me). Americans would gladly be sent back to America.
