The French tend to remind me of the Mainland Turks. They both use those toilets, you know the ones with the hole in the ground that you have to squat over to pee. They really smell bad and occasionally a rat pops his head up and bites your ass. Thats why I prefer to use the normal ones even in North Cyprus.

I thought for a moment you meant the french and T mainlander smelt - not their toliets!

And both their food smells and so do they.

Oh you did mean that

Dont get me wrong, I like mainlanders, they are more polite than T/C for one, but they do smell. I was sitting next to a really pretty young girl from Turkey, we were talking about girly things, she was admiring my hand bag and watch, and was asking me so many questions about my life in America, but when I sat a little nearer to her, as I like to be near to people and look into their eyes when I talk to them, she smelled real bad. So before I left, I gave her my Vichy deodrant and some damn expensive make-up. I did it in a nice way, I wasn`t being patronizing, but apparently she took offence, bless her sweet little soul.

Sounds pretty patronizing to me I am afraid. Have you ever considered that what smells is what is different to what you are used to? That to this Turkish girl the strange unfamilure (and expensive no doubt) scents that you were giving off where just as 'smelly' to her as hers where to you?

Hmmm, that may be true... I've met a few T and TC girls and they don't smell bad at all...

Unless... I smell bad too...?!?!?!

I thought about it for about two seconds, then I moved on to something else

Certain religious Turkish and Kurdish female mainlanders dont wash because it means they have to remove their clothes, and its against their islamic faith. This girl was dressed in black from head to toe, but seemed to know a hell of alot more about boys than me, and I`m 41 this year!

Anyway that wasn`t the reason she complained about me, I had an argument with her father, who wanted to get her married at the age of 15!

He was an arrogant beast of a man who belived that the place of women was in the home, reminded me of my ex-husband, how I would have liked to run over him in my car a few times.

No offence but I think we are drifting a little 'off topic' here

[KELEBEK]

I am just explaining how arrogant he was. Atleast I told him what I thought of him, so I am happy to drop the subject.

However I would
(from what little I know of it) accept the USA system,
provided there is protection for each compnenet state
from becomming dominated by GC. Would you accept such a
system?

Erol what you ask is an impossibility. In any Federal system the Federal law is superior and the Fed State has the means and the Power to enforce its law on the Constituent States.Given The fact that the Fed state will rather be dominated by the GCs, you are actually saying that you cannot accept a Federal System.
Like I said in previous posts the TCs have to take out of their minds this "together but separate" idea because it does not lead to Federation it leads to 2 separate states.

Bonsoir Alasya,

I agree with you French is a much easier and a better language than English.When I graduated high school I COULD easily communicate in French but could not communicate at all in English. Slowly slowly however I forgot almost all my French.
Actually I started forgetting almost everything lately but thats another story....

There is one question I always wanted to ask you. What does you nickname mean? Is it the name of a place? I remember when visiting Famagusta prior to 74 we used to have our baths at "Alasya beach" . Well?

Amicalement
Mic.

No you misunderstand me totaly. I would accept the USA system (where federal law is 'over' state 'law' and where in some areas federal government is controled according to a states size and in others irrespective of the states size - ie equally for each state). The only 'special' thing I am asking for is that in the states a citizen can more from one state to another - if there is no restriction inb a Cyprus / USA hybrid system then both the 'GC' state and the 'TC' state end up dominated by GC majorites and thus the 'federal preotection' of each community is undermined. So to be clear I accept exactly the USA federal system (which has equality of states at federal level in some 'organs' and not in others) exactly as long as there is a TC and GC state (and not 2 GC states).
