Hi there, I am currently living down in Yalikavak, but come the first week of January I will be up in Izmir, visiting universities looking to teach/lecture there--I teach English 2nd Language, adults. I'm American, btw. LOL! Hoping to move up there within the month. I would love to join your new group. Is this the forum to stay on top of your meetings? Looking forward to meeting up soon, Karen Wilson
