| 28th December 2007 Catherine | ok sounds like things are getting better - From: First Day in Istanbul Hi Azizam, yes don't show any interest in the carpets and things they want to sell you. ESPECIALLY if you ARE interested in something. If you want something, pretend you are interested in something else there. Show no interest in what you want and then make it look like a favour to them that you are taking whatever you want out of their hands. If you don't want anything, just be polite but firm. No thank you!! |

| 3rd December 2007 Alex | SPOILED! - From: My Itinerary You Lucky Duck! 1st class, did you use the air miles you accumulated from all the N.A. Travel? Get a close picture of what an Olive looks like on the Tree. I think they are Green when unripe,and Darken when ripe. That is going to be an interesting holiday. Is the language hard to pick up?
