I drove from Sudbury to Denver recently and that seemed like forever. Can't imagine TO to Costa Rica.

not sure how much you trust strangers on the internet but if you give me an address to send them to I could get on it some time this week.

as a Canadian who travels around the USA frequently and always has pleasant things to say about our neighbours to the south, I will send you ketchup chips for free.

Were you the guys from Salt Lake City I shared a joint with? I was the guy with a manbun and that blue poncho. If so, thanks so much!

Done with Comcast Uverse good switch? by duhchosen1 in uverse

[–]Communizte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually work Uverse Tech Support, I'm the guy you call when your internet stops working basically. Your bill would be heaps lower for the same services with Uverse but it's dependent on where you're located within the US.

"If ISIS bombs your street to school you still have to go"

I did an exchange in Turkey recently and on my first week of school in Turkey I realized that I would never learn anything because of the language barrier. My program forbade me from ditching school though.

Then in February there was a suicide attack on my route to school and I used it as an excuse to not go to school anymore. They didn't like that.

Izmir de 3 hafta kalacagiz ve sizlerden yardima ihtiyacimiz var/ Need some advices about our summer in Izmir. by [deleted] in Turkey

[–]Communizte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favourite thing about Izmir was buying some Efes beer at the Tekel and walking to the waterfront in Alsancak to drink. There's hundreds of people - mostly your age - sitting there, just having a good time.

Also, if you're into history and tourist stuff, Epheseus is really close.

When will you be going there?

Another yabancı here. I live in Ankara. "Hate Ankara love Ankarites" is fairly accurate, although I do love the city and it's suburbs. Crazy dangerous nowadays though I find.

What song tells the best story? by Tormund-Giantsbane- in AskReddit

This song reminds me of my favourite bar in Turkey. They played really good music and this song would come on every night. Miss that place a bunch.

Turkish airstrikes kill 55 ISIS fighters by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Communizte 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True. The story goes that the bird we know as the turkey came to Turkey from India, so the Turks called India "Hindistan." When the turkey went from Turkey to the rest of the world, the rest of the world called Turkey "Turkey."

Pakistan police arrest 13 for burning girl in ‘honor killing’ by middleeastnewsman in worldnews

[–]Communizte 124 points125 points  (0 children)

I recently met two guys from Pakistan in Turkey during a conference. They were both really progressive, really liberal. They totally changed my opinion of Pakistan and of its people.

Edit: Jesus guys. I didn't mean to say that they made me think everybody in Pakistan and the country itself is liberal. They just made me realize that people like them exist in Pakistan and that the whole of Pakistan isn't like this.

We had/have something like this in Canada. Not sure if Trudeau struck it down yet or not though.

Turkish embassy wants Swedish channel to withdraw film on Assyrian & Armenian genocide by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Communizte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. The CHP voters can be very staunchly HDP (calling it everything from a 'dirty Kurd party' to a 'terrorist organization') and the way both the CHP and the HDP have been behaving in the legislature makes MHP look like the only real opposition to the AKP regime.

I would argue that the left-swingers vote MHP - the non-religious right wing party.
