Return to Insanity

I return to Turkey. I was in Kusadasi 11 years ago and, of course, I didn't recognize it. Nothing stays the same though. It seems to be 10 times larger, but I like it even with the hawkers and the touts. I just like winding streets you can get lost in. But to reiterate I was here in Turkey before and was a good girl.


Really, I don't go around looking for affairs when I travel. It rarely happens and until recently it had been, at least, 12 years. But here we go again. I have a light dinner and on my way back to the pension I'm looking for a sweet which isn't hard to find, but before I do I'm asked to have tea. People in Turkeys are always asking you to have tea with them so I do. It turns to politics my favorite subject. I decide to ask this guy if he is Kurdish because I just discovered that there are over 14 million Kurds in Turkey and they have little rights. I'm sure I met a Kurd before but like I said I never asked. Well, he was and he liked that I asked him. We talk more and he invites me to the house he just bought. Guys with nice houses are turn on. Of course, I just had an affair with a guy who lived in a shepard's hut, but I still like indoor plumbing.

We have apple tea. It's really delicious and non alcoholic. It doesn't matter. He told me he used to work in a Haman and gave massages there, of course, for men only. Just mention the word massage and I melt. This woman in Vietnam gave me such great massages ($3 for 75 minutes) that I told her I'd like to marry her and take her back home with me.

Emin (his name) says he can give a better massage without my top then without my pants. He keeps his cool, seriously, and tells me if I'm not comfortable about anything he will stop. Okay I'm going to put my clothes on now and go back to my pension. No that's not what I said. He said, "Can I kiss you?"

I never stayed in that pension. I moved into his house the next day. Last night he made me chicken legs cooked in this tomato, pepper and onion sauce. Tonight I bought a leg of lamb and marinated it in yogurt, rosemary, thyme, olive oil and garlic. We're having it tonight. I swear I'm leaving Thurs.
