Exhausted!!!!

I'm darn darn darn exhausted! Urghh. I just got back. I spent my day today hanging with my new gfs in Taksim. It was lovely. Actually today was the first time they met each other - I introduced them both today and they got along really well like a pair of socks.

Feeling crap now though cos I gotta do my lesson plan and boy do I hate that! Urghhh! Plus I have a school meeting tomorrow (God I hate meetings, so pointless when it's a weekly thingy!) and few hours later, my evening class. Just tiring.

I'll fly to Cyprus the day after tomorrow for my visa run. Oh yea, don't ever thought of getting a freaking work permit here, employers don't give a shit about them so basically you'd have to do your visa run every 90 days or lesser depending on where ya from. I know of this Khazakstani girl here who's doing her visa run EVERY month! Bloody hell, I feel like an illegal immigrant here sometimes!

Working without a work permit means you can be deported if there are random checks in the school by the cops. Even on the streets, cops here make random checks on your i.ds and passport especially local Turkish men and foreigners. Most of my foreign friends here are lucky cos they can pass off as Turkish so the chances of them getting asked for passports are lesser but me having obviously Asian looks, not so lucky my friend! Maybe I should wear a burqa or something.



Ok, I'm just gonna have a quick rest before I start working again. Have a great one!
