Hi everyone,
I'll start this by saying I'm 31 years old, but despite the fact that I'm educated, responsible, and have given them no reason to question my judgement, my family is still freaking out about the fact that I'm planning a move from Massachusetts to Turkey. I know it's far, but I feel like there are so many misconceptions about what Turkey is really like. Having grown up in an Italian Catholic family, you can imagine how thrilled they are with the fact that the country is Muslim, despite my efforts to convince them that it's so laid back there. The issues all snowball from there...they assume women aren't treated well, that it's not a wealthy enough country, and on and on and on...
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to ease their minds? Websites that you'd recommend they see? Blogs?
Otherwise, can anybody else commiserate?? On that note, I'd definitely love to meet some Americans living in the Kusadasi area! So, feel free to contact me!
Thanks!!!
