“Wouldnt cut any ice in the West”

Oerrated. Dont know what they are trying to do. The room we were showed to stank of cigarette smoke. We waited 20 minutes for them to find an alternative room. And why were they cleaning rooms at 7.00 at night?
The room we were put in, there was a sticky mess on the bedside table, the shower head is the basic Poundland type, the front of house staff dont speak any English, but they charge their rate in US dollars?
The dinner was cold, the menu choices werent all available, the drinks took an age to come and had to be chased.
Over all, it appears that someone is trying to set up a western system prior to being welcomed into the EU, so they can say "Look what we already have" But someone needs to tell them that a 5 star hotel needs more than just a list of facilities. Servive is needed, and its just not there.
Quite frankly, if it werent late and raining, I'd have gone elsewhere. We have had some great hotels in Turkey, but this wasnt one of them.

Had breakfast in the "hotel". Amazingly good, considering the state of the bathrooms. The breakfast was a frying pan of fried eggs, sizzling hot but a bit too salty, bread, olives cheese and coffee. All for 15TL, about £6 for both.
Would have set off more quickly, but for the gang of Kyrgyzstan lorry drivers who gathered round, wanting to …

... the room as they themselves spin. This is fitting, as they are said to represent planetary bodies in the sky. As they spin, one hand is held up to the sky, and one held below to the ground. This is symbolic of reaching up to God as the other hand reaches down to the poor, establishing a connection of giving.

It was a great night, and apparently they do this nightly, so I'll be going back soon I hope. For now here are some pictures. ...

As It Should Be

A travel blog entry by ejbeyer

... keeps you square when you're all but certain your life is a convoluted, charred mess resulting from fires that only you could create. There was never a rosy picture here, or some fantastical teaching life abroad, it has been real in the truest sense. This fact exists in perfect harmony with the idea of a life 'as it should be,' and it's not a concession, it's not a sacrifice, it's an understanding and a consequent liberation. ...

Mit dem Bus haben wir uns zunächst auf den Weg nach Pazar gemacht, wo uns gesagt wurde, dass wir in einen Bus nach Ayder umsteigen können. In Pazar angekommen, hat uns der Bus an einer verlassenen Kreuzung irgendwo im Nirgendwo rausgeschmissen. Es war schon halb sechs nachmittags und im Reiseführer stand, dass Busse nur bis 6 fahren, wenn überhaupt in der Nebensaison. :{ Und wieder hatten wir Glück und haben einen netten Mann gefunden, der uns versucht ...

Teaching

... to really make some learning happen, which is a better side of the line to be on I think. I can do those long sessions, I've proven that to myself and to the school, and I can do them well. The worry should always be crafting something useful.

My classroom management skills have grown exponentially, and I'm more than capable of handling new, out of control, or otherwise unruly groups of students who may or may not even want to learn the language. Interestingly ...
