My friend Saab, living in Cairo, just emailed me from Turkey. He just bought 21 DVDs for 45 million Turkish liras. There's an odd character that changes his "i"'s. Here's what he had to say:
týme ýs runnýng out at the ýnternet cafe. quýck synopsýs of what ýve done so far:
a lýttle shoppýng for DVDs (21 for 45 mýllýon!), explorýng the hýlls of
Kapadokýa ýn central Turkey, had a fewe turkýsh baths (wýth the steamy
sauna, the loofah and massage), and výsýtýng a few fantastýc mosques ýn
Istanbul. tomorrow, we hop on a ferry to výsýt Istanbul on the Asýan
sýde. A lýttle Asýan tomorrow! Tell you more when I get back ýn
Caýro.
later dood!
Saab
For your information, $1 CAD is equivalent to just over 1 000 000 Turkish liras. So he bought 21 DVDs for $45 CAD, or $33 USD. He'll have to hook me up.
have him hook me up too! damn! You can be the Canadian King of the Dorks, heh. I find it hysterical that now that I'm older, being a dork is actually a good thing... Be proud - wear the badge of honor. They'll realize the coolness of dorkiness sooner or later. ; )
