Gene,
You have summed up the situation precisely. One of the things that keeps me going between visits to
Icmeler is that I try to adopt the respectful, pleasant attitude of the Turks with people that I come into contact with at home - and guess what? It really works, people tend to respond positively and it makes me feel happy too!

I'm really looking forward to my next trip now - in three weeks' time (and counting every second) I will be in Icmeler. Must get my travelling outfit ready this weekend!
