(Inter)National Delurking Week

Hello!!  It is international delurking week.  That means you lurkers (you know who you are) should drop me a line.  

There is a discrepancy between those who I know read my site (Hi Mom!) and the site counter. 

I would love to hear from you.  You can do one of three things.  The first: leave a comment and prove your existence

The second: say hello, introduce yourself and make new friends

The third: ignore my desperate plea. 

 

Please, for my vanity—do one of the first two options.

  1. Hello from a lurker! My husband is Turk (from Kastamonu) we live in Missouri for now. I love reading your blog.. we will probably move back there someday (or hopefully to Ankara). I love reading your experiences and it lets me know what I'm in for someday! :)

  2. I'm not a lurker, I've posted before. But just to remind you that I'm still here loving your descriptions of your travels and enjoying your contributions to http://thefrickinchicken.blogspot.com/

  3. Hello, I enjoy reading your blog from Texas. My fabulous husband is from Istanbul. Reading your blog validates some of the same feelings that I have in regards to being unable to express myself in turkish, learning the food, and understanding the culture. Its nice to know that there's someone else in a similar situation.

  4. I started reading your blog a couple of months ago. Just wanted to hear an American's perspective on living in Turkey. We have several Turkish friends whom we adore: some here in the US and some in Turkey.

  5. Hi there,

    I have also started reading your blog couple months ago, I'm Turkish living in Portland, OR with American husband, who is currently living in Istanbul! yes, I know it's a little funny, but it's temporary.
    I love your enthusiasm about food and your travels, it just tells me coming back to settle will be worth it. Keep writing!

  6. Great idea about de-lurking. I have written several times to your blog- so I guess I don't qualify as an official lurker. Good luck and keep writing!

  7. Not a lurker but just realized I was way behind on reading your blog. I missed the whole US adventure! Now I have some catching up to do!

  8. A whole two weeks in the states! I have been delinquent in posting on both my blog and yours. Whoops. Lots of family visiting though.

  9. Hi! I'm a few (seven!!) months late on this post, but I started reading your blog a few weeks ago. I'm planning on moving to Turkey in 2 months to be with my boyfriend. We'll be near Kusadasi. I'm from MA, so this will be quite the move and I love hearing about your experiences! You also make me laugh out loud with your writing sometimes, which is great. My family is a little freaked out by the idea of my move and sometimes their fear spreads back to me. Thanks for reminding me of the things that I love about Turkey and making me even more excited for my move!
