Back at home again.
Home? A contradictory feeling is spreading. The feeling is not quite like that coming at homecoming in Germany, after a journey. It is probably just a good feeling to come back into his own home where you have peace and quiet ... although, it is still not here. But we are there for us. We are once again arrived back at our apartment in Izmir.
The friendly professor doctor was met by his wife at the airport. A quiet woman who is also friendly sovereign in their huge cars parked in front of us. The professor wanted to drive us doctor to go home, after several attempts to cut off the supply but then they put us in front of our apartment house.
In the elevator we receive the Turkish Dudelmusik and in the apartment, we can finally drop all things. In the kitchen we killed a few of the critters. Slowly it has become everyday life here, so really you get used to everything. At any time, to which one enters the kitchen, you're ready to strike. One could look at it even as a kind of sport, because the critters are damn fast.
Two beers in the fridge waiting for us. A few olives, tomatoes and feta cheese are also available and so we sit in our glass conservatory, listen to the evening traffic noise of Inonu Cad. and our cool Efes enjoy by candlelight.
Tomorrow begins for me again to work at the school and Erdal is looking forward to another day as a house husband.
The advantage of these apartment buildings is that you can enjoy a certain service. This service work done by the "gatekeeper".
I find the most convenient trash service.
18 clock to set its trash out the door and turns the clock to 19.30 "gatekeeper" to collect his rounds at him.
Also very important: The water service because the tap water is not drinkable! 19 liter cans for 4 lira or about 2 €, he wears it up.
Well not quite, there is an elevator .... with music 
There is a fee of approximately 7.30 clock the newspaper service.
The newspaper (0.30 lira thus approximately 17 cents) is naturally brought to the door.
About 9 clock is bread service, you can get fresh bread (0.75 lira or about 40 cents) can bring.
During the day there is the possibility of purchasing the service to use. You press the "gatekeeper" in its list of the hand and does the possible smuggling.
You may also make his electric bill with him, that he is paying at the bank.
Otherwise, he comes once a year to inject venom against these crawling critters that are normal here, unfortunately, in heating, high-rise buildings - as we now know so Aunt and Uncle.
