I would say probably kebap and Beyo\u011flu Zencefilli Gazoz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not many, but Turkish people and Latinos share a lot of core values regarding family, at least. Turkey is way too big and populated, whereas Costa Rica is very small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cats, for sure<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any place where I can relax with a coffee and pet the cats, so around the coffee shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love Kuzu. In Costa Rica we don\u2019t eat it a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, in 10 years I’ll be 50, so\u2026 retiring? If I\u2019m still working, I’d like to be a researcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deportation (don\u2019t ask :))<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve been to a few of the cities, like \u0130stanbul, \u0130zmir, \u00c7anakkale, etc. I think my favorite so far is Fethiye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They usually mistake Costa Rica for Puerto Rico, so they ask me about my \u201cisland.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outgoing, energetic and fun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
