Isaygen, I have no answers for your questions, but just wanted to say "Merhaba" [sm=sunsmiley.gif]. I'm not sure about the spelling, but that's about all I remember of the Turkish I learned while stationed in Istanbul in 1961 in the US Navy (TUSLOG Det 12). I know things have changed since I was there, but it was my most enjoyable tour of duty.
