Culture Shock

Ok so culture shock has hit. Apparently quite a common condition which affects most expats especially on the first expat experience.

Spoke to Debra and she is really encouraging me to get out and to try getting out on the buses, this just fills me with total fear.................

I know that the main problem is the language barrier, I can't communicate with anyone so feel isolated not only that if I do communicate with them they don't help but tend to look at you as if you're something they've trodden in.

Debra goes to Turkish lessons, I am determined to beat this thing and stay here for the sake of Paul and the kids. They are so happy here I can't just pack up and go home I have to be happy too. I WILL BE HAPPY HERE.....................
