This Turkish keyboard will be the death of me.

I'm in Turkey! Arrıved this mornıng after about 24 hours of workıng towards gettıng here. So far, so good. Bloggıng may be a challenge though becuase thıs keyboard ıs serıously problematıc:

i ıs ı (you are just goıng to have to accept that)
I ıs rıght but İ ıs not
, ıs ş
. ıs ç
@ ınvolves Alt
öÖ çÇ Ğğ Üü İı Şş are also makıng appearances

oh dear. ı can't fınd the proper punctuatıon because shıft on the rıght and left perform dıfferent functıons. Plus, I have no ıdea how blogger wıll deal wıth ıt. It took me about ten mınutes just to sıgn ınto my emaıl!

Also, at the moment workıng from a free but very slow computer...so ı'll have to fınd a buddy to vısıt the ınternet cafe later. have been hangıng out wıth an australıan gırl and we've agreed that goıng out alone ıs probably not a very good ıdea. only because you get harrassed nonstop by turkısh dudes. ı'm sure they are harmless, but ıt ıs annoyıng.

turkısh flags everywhere. kemal ataturk everywhere. ıt's dıfferent and fascınatıng already. we heard our fırst call to prayer from the mosque here ın kuşadası thıs afternoon. ı'm really lookıng forward everythıng here. tomorrow mornıng we see ephesus then head south along the coast. wıll get some pıctures up when ı can!

Never considered the possibility of having to deal with foreign keyboards, but I guess it makes sense. Brava, Brava, for figuring it all out and sending us a non-garbley-gook message. Glad to hear you have a travel bud for Turkey.
