Hey everyone;
We are trying to organize an Istanbul meet in early May. I'm already here, studying at Bosphorus University for the semester. Hopefully, Tuna might be able to (briefly) attend.
Anyone else interested?
That's too soon. Even if I sail early I will still be at the Dniepr rapids then.
It may be too early but will see what I can do.
Who else is coming?
I'm planning on going, at about the 90% certainty level.
Depending on my employment status I'd be up for it. Like some others, later would suit me better.
As posted elsewhere, 13th till 25th would work for me.
My free days are at the start of the month.
There will just have to be two Istanbul trips :cool:
I'm going to fly out on the 30th April and stay for 8 days :cool:
Those are my dates and they can not be altered for complicated family reasons that there is no point going into. Obviously I would be delighted to meet up with any Languishite who made it out there during this time..............delighted I tell you :D
Pete, you know what you have to do when meeting Queellus :contract:

But before burning the books, ejaculate on them.

That could get awkward.

Sorry, I was watching some films and my thinking got sidetracked.

Do you often fantasize about men ejaculating when you watch these movies? :unsure: :P

I fantasize about people dying horribly.

Spellus is just going to shriek when you punch him in the nuts.

Doesn't help if I'm injured in Turkey.
But, not to worry........I'll buy the Magyar some raki, he'll revert to his Hunnic roots and take Spellus out :cool:
Wish I could go with ya guys. Have fun, and have a, err, whatever it is you'll be drinking, for me.

Wish I could join you, but last 5 and first 3-4 working days of any month are always out for me. :(
There's talk of an important project meeting during May, though, so I may have to cancel/postpone my vacation at least in part, anyways, to, oh, I have no clue. :glare:
Raki tastes like a far more pleasant form of Nyquil, so my years of abuse of the blue-green bottle will hopefully give me an advantage over Tamas. :)
I'll have to google Raki and Nyquil :P
BTW Spellus, I remember a teacher of mine who once toured some Turkish towns (somewhat inland IIRC) and he said people became very friendly with him once they learned he is Magyar. He claimed the whole ~200 years frontier war between us is considered there as turks and magyars vs. austrians. Which it was to some degree of course, since Transylvania was a turkish vassal...
Know anything about that? Need to know if I'll have to watch my back there like in Slovakia :P

Raki is a stronger and less good ersatz of Ouzo...
Raki is the Turkish variant of aniseed-flavoured spirit. So it's in the same category as pastis, anise, sambuca, ouzo etc etc
Don't think I've ever had any......yet.

IIRC it tasted a bit like absinthe, only 'spicier' somehow.
