turkey end of another week (week 2)

so another week has flown around yet again and i am finally adjusting to the style of work i have thoroughly enjoyed this week even more with the chance to work with the older age. I also had an afternoon off where i was able to go to the spa and have the chance to have  a turkish massage with a turkish man. He was so much better than the previous back massage i had encountered and worked wonders on my arm which has a lot of tension it wasn't that bad either at about 42 lira so 21 in the uk roughly.  So if i decide to stay longer i will definately have to choose to have a massage more often. As for work head office has emailed to ask whether i would stay till November i believe that id prefer to just September so we shall see what they say as id like work with a better pay as i believe it can be fun here but long hours.

day off and transfer day

Today was an amazing day off from how busy it has been i am sure sometimes they are doing things they would never be able to get away with in England like two staff to twenty children at night time. On the positive though we had some great tips from some parents which was able to pay off my expenses card. I will make sure that this is paid off at the end of each week because one of the girls who thankfully went home today ended up paying a fortune of 400 turkish lira I  would be so poor.
Today has been really good i have been on a catamaran which tipped over and watching Sam waterboarding he tried to go for a jump and hurt his cheast. i can't wait for my next day off where i will be a lot more chilled and will be able to sunbathe some more. I have also booked for a back massage as we are able to get discount there.
Stupidly i have decided that on my night off i will be doing some babysiting one of the rich parents said money is no object so hopefully a good tip tonight to spend on some good quality food.

Turkey Sea Garden day 2

so i have finally settled in to living away living with Heidi head of water front and Kirsty we are all pretty close the guys in the office are very sound and don't mind anyone coming into their offfice. The work in Turkey is very full on but the nights off definately make up for it and for some reason i can manage to pull off work half 8 till 9 so some very long hours and thankfully there is a good lunch break. Unfortunately i don't seem to be able to afford drinks onsight as i still don't have a card that all the drinks have to go on which at the moment is ace as i haven't had to pay for anything and when we went to sort out the residency VISA in Bodrum today i had lunch and drinks paid for:P hhehe
Bodrum centre is so culturally ace and the people are all very traditionel with the guys in the street singing and pulling you into their shops. The turkish men are a very strange bunch one of the guys that work in the area has a  habit of just staring. I have been told that wednesday i will be learning the watersports so very much looking forward to that.
