It has been a while since my last time here. I went to Portugal for Christmas and happy new year's festival time and of course to be with my family. Then in January I returned to Turkey, Bursa. I am currently living in Bursa Mordern, a kind of houses' complex where you can find almost anything you desire.
There is a swimming pool for residents and I heard that is available a gym as well, but I haven't found it yet...It is very good living here, however it's totally different than living in Istanbul. As I said in one of my previous post, Istanbul is totally cosmopolitan and european and Bursa in spite of having everything, I think it's more "turkish" than Istanbul.
The weather is quite good now, but it was snowing last week and the other before. It was a new experience since in Portugal there is only one region you can find snow, called Serra da Estrela, and for what I could see here, I believe Serra da Estrela is far away from having so many snow than here.
Driving with snow is an adventure...and dangerous too. But driving carefully is the recipe for being successful in such an adventure as this one. But anyway, I'm safe and with all my bones inside, which means that I have survived to snow.
Now, I'm living alone, without a partner but the experience is good. I've never gave so much value to housekeeping than now...thinking everyday what I'm going to eat at dinner or if I have to go for shopping isn't totally new but it still is tasks that I'm not use to do.
I am trying to learn Turkish too, and I have bought a book to help me out. Now I can understand some conversations and I just know to speak a little bit. The basics words to be more specific as "good morning"; "good afternoon"; "good night", "thank you"; "how are you"; "hello", and other ones...
I think that's all for now. Stay tuned for more news :)
