summer is ON
the turkish election was a travesty. as expected. still hurts to watch. internet was full of videos and photos proving foul play; i saw leftover ballots stamped by a group of guys, "wrong" votes in the trash bin, and so on. Kadiköy (municipality of half a million people) votes were just arriving to counting AFTER Erdo was giving his victory speech. and friends of friends who were observers also saw a lot of wrong doing, but no one can do anything. it makes me furious.
Haaretz is not on my usual reading list... but this article on Erdo & economy is pretty good i think.
our facebook group for turkish doctors in the UK saw a sharp rise in new members on the election day and it has been going like that since... sad and funny at the same time. but a good motivator to try do stuff for the group. some people write guides or about their experience which is great, but i had an idea yesterday to do Q&A's with those already here. kind of generic questions, so the interviewee can give as much or as little as they want. and anonymous unless they want otherwise. covering all the stuff people mostly ask about, salary and career options and such.
Airbnb has gone worse. now, as u browse for accommodation, they are doing the "hurry! 15 other people are looking at accommodation in xx now!" or "we only have 15 accomodation left in xx!". and im looking at May 2019, so... F you. this is a bit early to be planning but we are going with friends and partners, so have to start early...
doctor also got his new rota for the next 6 months so we got to planning our holidays. he is going to germany (metal festival...) in august, but we decided on a weekend in paris in october. a bit rainy, maybe, but we are still considering turkey for september, so cant go then. ive wanted to take eurostar to paris forever, so exciting. also we are planning to do a proper winter holiday in january, when its the coldest and darkest here. either mexico or vietnam, i think. or somewhere in the caribbean. depends on the price and water temperature. because i want to swim, too. also, we want to go glamping, i think. so looking at those options.
the work project that kept me busy most of June is finally done. we delivered this week and everything went well. client seems happy. im happy too, i think our team did a good job.
the weather is finally super warm & sunny... proper summer. we went to picnic yesterday with doctor and Can. today i enjoyed the sun in an outdoor food market with Niina, in elephant & castle. in that sense, things are quite good.
