It has been almost six months since I left Ankara and now, I am back here with may family for some time. I am working from home - I love my new job - it is so decent.
First thing after I recovered from a long trip (18 hours by bus from Bucharest to Ankara) it was to go with my family to a Turkish restaurant. I uploaded some pictures I took with my phone's camera, not very good quality but illustrating the specific of a very nice restaurant in Bahcelievler, 4th Street: ÖZ URFALI. This is very close from where we stay.
What is for sure is that you can eat very good, very nice restaurant and reasonable price, something that it is very difficult to find in Bucharest. The service is very very good, you just look to another direction than the plate for a second and somebody will come and ask if you want something... They have an electronic system for warning the waiter but you never get to use it...
I always prefer to go to the fast foods in Bucharest because wit the other restaurants you can never know what you gonna get :-) We have so much to learn...

Artist family... except me
All members of my family have some talents and I have none. My only hobby and job is informational technology.
Gean started to go to piano lessons and so far he is going very good. He knew more then ten colors since he was three. Once, I went with him on a Saturday to a client and he asked my son "What color is this pen?" without expecting something different than black or a basic color. He said "gray". He could also name "light blue", "dark blue" and tones for other colors at an age when children cannot name more then three four colors.
Zuhal, apart from being a painter she takes canto lessons now and she plans to sing in an opera. She will open a personal painting exhibition on February.
I like photography very much but I cannot say I am an artist. I have seen pictures taken by Zuhal and they are much better than mine. Having an artist eye and talent is not something that can be compensated by work.
Few days ago I was speaking with an artist couple, both violinists. I was so happy to see that there are still so innocent people in any matter regarding computers, technology and things like this. They do not look at technology like a goal, or something to be desired but merely a mean to do something. World will still be beautiful as log there are still artist delighting us with their innocence and playfulness. Life is a game after all...
