Positive things............... ................................... I JUST GOT A BONUS!  ...and there was me, thinking I'd been overpaid, ready to declare it!!!!  (Hope I wasn't taxed on it!) (Bet I was.......any benefits here that can be regarded as salaries are taxable I think...) Thank you Turkey!

great things about living here...
Bakal who says "take what you want, pay me when you can." He even has the neighborhood boys run my favorite brands of smokes, ice cream and coffee right up to my apartment. How cool is that?!? Now i just call him and place my order, delivered instantly.
Now if only he could trade in those boys for a hot Turkish girl.....well you can dream cant you????

France up to 70% of your income. Try Isle of Man -- max around 20% last time I checked. Plus -- they are used to turning a blind eye to suitcases full of cash at the airport.
