-Caveat Lector-
You're right about the USAF enlisted having a hard time getting along. Been
there; done that. NATO is the usual military organization. I was there when
Turkey was under martial law, but we were as happy with the martial law as
the Turks were. It hadn't made life difficult for us, but if a Turk went to
the store to buy bread, no one knew if he would make it back alive. Ecevet
and Demerol were doing their usual bombastic yada, and that general taking
over was the best thing that ever happened. Where we were and while we were
there, the only times Americans had a real problem, it was discovered that
they were trying to date Turkish girls (It's not done that way over there) or
were buying or selling drugs. You're right about them not putting anything
about that in the papers (ours at least). I guess you can always find a
drug dealer (there or here) if you're looking. Very few Turks seemed to use
drugs, but they certainly didn't mind making money off of anyone who did. I
don't know how they felt about hashish. It's been around the middle east and
used in the middle east for centuries. Opium has always been grown there,
but no Turk I ever heard of was stupid enough to use it. It was a cash crop,
sold to foreigners who apparently knew no better. We probably paid more for
our apartment too, but then we had a lot more money. I go along with you
regarding the electricity and heat. It's not like the U.S. We usually had
the electricity, but Turks aren't really sure anyone needs heat I guess. One
thing I've always been grateful for was being taught the method to get really
clean by using one large bucket of water. That should help in Y2K situations
if they every develop. Anyway, I'd love to be where I could have tea in Swan
Park this afternoon. and maybe have guvech and ekmek for dinner. Prudy
