 Hi Everybody... Hi guys,
I heard about this forum through a friend and wanted to join to meet with some expats here in Istanbul. Probably different than majority of the people on this forum, I am from here. But I was away in Canada for the last 5 years . I went to university there and I fell in love with the country. I was in Victoria, BC. Anyways, I came back to the homeland last september and now I am working full time which I find is a little boring. I hope to meet with some new people and just hang out... I miss the foreign culture LOL...
Gotta go now.

Talking about the cheese, I was shocked by the price of Cheddar cheese here. Soooo expensive. I miss the $10-11 Armstrong extra fort orange cheddar cheese haha! I guess its all about the demand cuz I was also shocked by the price of feta cheese in Canada sooo there you go 
How long have u guys been in Turkey ?
