My weekly mornings have now found a rhythm here in Izmir.
At 8 Clock I leave our apartment house, our hope "administrator" of the bottom has his business: "Günaydın" Good morning =
and over to the next street corner, the bus driver is arranged with the Service.
All along the road edges and corners, students, staff and workers waiting for their bus service.
I'm still eyed by people interested but unobtrusive.
8:15 clock is against my dolmuş be loose, the door will be opened in the directions and I clean jump. Now we drive the different apartments and houses on the way to collect and Güzelbahçe to our students and even some children of Marion's kindergarten.
There is a small screen mounted behind the driver, where we look different on the rides children's films. The first few rides on it each time with "The Lion King" looked again and again.
We travel a long distance along the sea.
It squints against the sun's first rays and enjoy this wonderful view.
It is wonderful to go to such work.
The day started windy, breakfast table, we are almost blown away! An elderly couple from Brittany speaks to me anxiously on the toaster, if the weather had been so all the time, they are in fact arrived fresh and DAS they had not imagined. swim in the wild sea and heavy rain ..
The electrician came today to get to the fuse that was flying out every time with dishwasher use to care. Then he repaired all the outlets yet that did not work and we hope that peace is in the box. Electricians are a very special impact craftsmen. It probably seems to be that you have a small or large to get a strike, if you're not careful. The electrician tells us how and why the backups fly out. It would be the fact that many lines in the apartment were not grounded. So only two instead of three wires in the cable are available. Thirty years ago, it was not necessary. After a washing machine and television were the highest in the electric feelings. Now, when you need more grounded line, must be rehabilitated. And our owner, which was probably not needed. After the interview and the work is done, the electrician said goodbye and our apartment is now a little closer to earth. Thanks to a cable ...
Today, we are sometimes a little earlier then come out of the apartment and went back down to the sea. This time we walk in the other direction.
The promenade ends after a short time at the car ferry station Üçkuyular.
From here we are a little further along the road, and lo and behold ...
We discover a park
View of the park
I'm so happy:
a large spacious park ....
the sea ...
with gravel beach ...
The park's natural and does not seem somehow to belong to this city.
Only here, the city is something natural.
Here and there, in the park and the beach, picnic benches are at a greater distance.
On a few of them sit grill and families. A group of hardy boys raged around on the beach and swam.
Continue into the park, some hidden, again loving couples and a few fishermen at sea.

But above all you have here .... PEACE No more cars, no honking ...
We are on the way back stop at the Marine Restaurant.
In the restaurant, I try to use my first knowledge of Turkish and wave the waiter. I would like to order a mineral water and tell him: "Bir soda." He looks at me puzzled and I repeat my order again. Then he brought me a beer and water. Erdal like the fact that he can now drink another beer.
Yes, on the Turkish pronunciation's still obvious weak point 
Today at breakfast bell rang. The heavily pregnant niece of the owner, who wanted to see what I have to object to in the apartment.
There are a lot of furniture in the apartment, crying for repair or garbage.
Chairs are indeed - more than enough - in the apartment about 15 pieces. But believe me, because no one wants to put up more!
I do not know what anything was spilled on the seat cushions, or how often they were probably used with dirty shoes, as the head. Apart from the fact that the fabric is torn here and there.
The two plastic chairs on the balcony have seen better times. Today people are afraid to top it off, because they could collapse at any moment.
The coffee table was backed with carpet glue and threatening at the slightest exposure to fold in on itself. But enough of that ... these are just a few minor shortcomings of the list.
The previous tenant must have been a bum. read this post »
