and if you have to shorten it to "Jon", (which isn't preferred!), then it must be pronounced "Jon" and not "John" please.....

Hi Said,
Welcome! Hope you are having a good time so far. At least Ist is not as cold as Toronto  I visited Toronto in the summer of 2006, and loved it. Whereabouts in Ulus do you live? I am not too far from Ulus.
