What I knew about Turkey on December 12, 2010 :
. . . that Turkey is a member of NATO.
. . . that the ancient ruins of Ephesus are located there.
. . . that friends who visited Turkey seemed to like it, and one even said the country was quite clean.
. . . that Turkey had a leader named Ataturk (I was confused about how his name related to the country’s name).
. . . that Turkey and Greece are not good friends.
On December 13, my husband found out that his employer, 3M Company, was transferring him (us) to Istanbul for 2-3 years. An adventure was beginning, and despite mixed feelings, I started reading up on “my” new country. What I read, I liked. Since then, I have made two brief and enjoyable visits to Turkey, and will formally relocate there on June 19. I hope you’ll join me via my blog.
Congratulations on getting started, Sue! I look forward to future installments.
All the best on your adventure! I’m so glad you set up this blog!
Can’t wait for you to continue…..take me with you!…just don’t do anything rash and join the school board!

Great idea, Sue. I look forward to following your adventures! I’ve been reading through some of my mom’s letters from overseas – what a priceless resource – so I hope you have time to keep us all informed.
Robert and I look forward to hearing of your experiences in and impressions of Turkey. Safe travels this weekend. Best wishes to you and Sankar on this new leg of your life’s journey.
Hi Sue,
I just saw your post on CEL-O about moving to Turkey and I thought I’d follow along. Starting from post #1.
