We dident go to any garden yesterday... like I thought.  

But Gökhan and I went shoping instead much better I think. We found washing pouder for super price, 8 kg for 15 TL which is 75 kr! They also had great price on chicken, fish and some sort of baklava, I told Gökhan that dede should be happy if we bought some baklava for him ... but it was actually just a cover for me!  

We later meet up with Serkan and his friend from cyprus at forum. We sat down at the terass and what do you think I see ... Yes I see the same girl I meet at Adana airport when I was coming here. All that came from out of  Turkey had to go to another arrivel and non of us understod why we had to, this girl came from London and also had her boyfriend here in Mersin.

Later that evening when we at dinner, yeah what do I see there 2 table far from us ... Yeah I see another foreigner, I thought she looked like a swedish girl but the guys thought she look lika coming from russia. Hmm, its not easy to see where people come from. People often thinks I come from Germany ... maybe that girl came from Germany, hmm who knows.

And today I regret I dident go and talk to those girls. It should ge great if I had someone eals to talk to and that knows english well. Insallah one day!  

Jag ar bara tvungen att skriva ett inlagg pa svenska...

For de ar namligen sa att jag har en san fruktansvart langtan hem till Sverige! Jag kan inte fatta att jag verkligen langtar hem till ett land dar klimatet ar runt noll och solen knapp lyser.

Men vad ar de som jag saknar da?...

Ja jag saknar nog faktiskt mest matriella saker...ledsen att saga de men de ar faktiskt sa. Att fa sova i min sang som ar mjuk istallet för en hard baddsoffa som man kan kanna stalpinnarna pa och dem traffar precis pa höfterna.

Jag saknar den svenska maten! Att fa ata en redig köttbit med potatis och massa sas. Inte bara soppa, pasta, ris, yoghurt och bröd. Jag kanner att min kropp inte mar bra av denna höga kolhydrat kost.

Jag saknar att mina dagliga promenader i skogen med min hund. Inte promenader pa strandpromenaden pa stenhard asfalt med skinande sol och MASSA folk som ar i vagen. Man kan inte sjunga, inte nynna, ja inte ens slappa en fis nar magen har kommit igang! Annat ar de hemma pa öjn da jag kan skrika sa högt jag kan och skutta fram och ingen som hör eller ser.

Jag saknar att se svensk tv. Inte bara otroligt daligt filmade turkiska serier eller nyheter. Eller sa hörs de religiösa sanger som jag inte fattar ett smack av för dem ar ju pa turkiska...Jag vet jag skulle ha lart mig turkiska battre men de ar faktiskt ganska skönt att inte första ibland! Fast dede (morfar) börjar att bli valdigt irriterad att jag inte lar mig fortare.

Sen saknar jag min bil och att jag kan komma och ga som jag vill. Jag kan aka till stan en eftermiddag om jag sa far för mig de. Eller aka o simma, Ohhhh jag skulle sa garna vilja simma lite. Men de gar ju inte har far dem simhallar som finns ar till for riktiga simmare och de kostar multum att komma in. Tacka vet jag Hemse badet som tar 50 kr och man har tillgang till allt!

Men mest av allt vill jag nog ha min katt har, som jag alltid kan rakna med att hon ligger i mitt kna och snarkar!

Nja detta ar typ de jag saknar med Sverige...Men de kommer att ga över förutom att jag vill ha SVENSK MAT! JAg tror jag kanner en sann stor langtan for att jag var sa lange hemma. Allt ar den dar jakla militartjanstgöringens fel!! Hade Turkiet inte haft obligatorisk tjanstgöring so hade jag aldrig vart sa deppig som jag ar nu. Jag vill skratta och vara glad! Men jag har en toppen man som gör sitt basta att försvenska varan tillvaro har. Han skruvar upp Rix FM pa högsta volum varje morgon och vi sover nu i mormor och morfars mjuka harliga sang och han har sagt att han skall köpa KÖTT till mig!

Men om en manad sa maste jag aka hem till kalla SWE för da har mina 90 dagar gatt. Sa da far vi se om jag varkligen saknar allt detta sa mycket egentligen!?

It was first time Gökhan and I was at our mountain house today. Its so high up in the mountain so you can feel your ears getting same pressure as in airplanes and we could also see the snow lawing on a mountain little far away from us. The temperatur there was 5 C and here at home it's 15 C, so for me it was so cold and I was wishing I had my winter clothes!

We went there to cut and spray medicine on all trees. Dede and Gökhan did that when Ayşe made up fire for BBQ and I was in kitchen cleaning up after some construction guys and then I made our sallad by using a tray as cutting board! We havent started to fix in that house yet so we have very limited things there. But we got our lunch, çay and fruits anyway!

When we sat inside and drank our çay a dog came up at terass and looked after food rest, but the thing was that our gate was closed so how came the dog in? Yeah we realiced later that she was climbing in on the roof of the little house dede made to have his tools in and then the dog was balance walking on the high fence. Then it was a simple thing to go inside and up to the terass. Such a smart dog and friendly. Gökhan and I went out walking and she was fallowing us everywhere and was playing and probably this was one of her happiest days. This is my dog from now on and her name is Daisy!

YESSS!!! I got my seeds from Sweden this afternoon! I cant wait untill I can start grow them and we are maybe giong to mountain house tomorrow so I can plan for it. But it seem like it is gonna be raining here for one week ahead...

On top - Cucumber, Paprika, Parsnips, Cauliflower, Yellow beans and swedish Smultron.

Under - Yellow mini tomatos, Peas and two kinds of flowers - Cephalaphora and Snapdragons.

One week ago I told you that we were going to an adventure. But I never told you what happen that day, so here it comes!

Esma, Gökhan and I drove of to the east part of Mersin and our first stop was a beach mostly just to streatch our legs. But we found cross the street to that beach an old bridge and a lemon garden they were just cuting down.

Next stop was Kizkalesi, Maidain's castel. Its says a king looked his daughter in this castle becouse a foreteller told the king that his daughter is gonna be bitten from a snake so the king look her in to have her on safe. But one day they send in a fruit basket and the snake hids in it and later that day the princess was dead.

So wonderful it was there, Esma was running around playing, sea was so tempting to swim in but its to cold and to eat our lunch there was super, food always tast better next to sea!

Our last stop on the day was Kanlidivane.

Some kilometer from there it was an graveyard...

Yeap this is what happen on our adventure, a day with alot of interesting and beautiful things. And you could notis on Esma becouse she was so tired and falled asleep in the backseat on our way home.

On facebook I am a member in a group called "We with Turkish men" and in I was in a discussion about eat or not eat pork and for some reason I go into one of the girls profil. And what do I see!? This girl is from Visby and are also a friend of a friend. So cool!! If that was not enough...her husband comes from Adana which is 1 hour away from here. But sadly they lives on Gotland but I really hope we can meet with them when they come here next time!

I am drinking a mix of pekmez, honey and black pepper! Something that is suppose to help for coughing and I really hope it works becouse its not the best I have been drinking if I say like that.

For those who are not turkish you maybe wonder what pekmez is... It is a must from frutes mostly grapes and we use it in breakfast but then we mix it with sesame paste. Then its really good but like this just to drink it then its not so good.
