if it has been snowing there non-stop and that's why she wants it to stop?

ready for spring, and warmer weather.

can understand that sentiment.

if Turkey has had much snow and is sick of cold weather.

shrugs. It really depends on where you are located but in Istanbul it's been fairly warm.

it would be nice to live somewhere where you could go to one part for warm weather and another for cold. Not Belarus.

knows it will get warm in Belarus soon.

eventually, but for now ... more cold. Still doesn't like it.

knows that she does have the option of travelling to other warmer countries if she wishes.

knows she has that option, just not sure where she would like to visit. What would Turkey suggest?

to know what she is looking for and if she wants his honest opinion.

someplace where she doesn't have to wear boots, coats and mittens to avoid hypothermia would be nice. He can always be honest with her.

can say that his country would be a great place but would also advice going to Greece if she really likes ancient history...he would also

advise going to Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Iran. Lebanon is very beautiful and Cyprus has lots of great things to see. He also thinks that

Macedonia or any of the former Yugoslavian countries would make a great trip and she wouldn't regret going Rome. Andalucia in Spain is

another place he would tell her to go and while she's there hope over to Morocco and Tunisia...

about this list and notes he's suggested a few countries that are in turmoil right now. would like to go to Egypt very much but they are

still protesting to over throw their government. Tunisia is in the same situation. Iran isn't very open to women, and her boss does

business there all the time. Thinks Greece or Turkey would be nice, or Cyprus ... but does she visit the Greek half, or the Turkish half?

knows that his list consists of alot of country in turmoil but he didn't say she had to visit them now. He thinks she should visit both

halfs but she better not tell Greece he said that.

And why shouldn't I tell Greece? Will he be mad?

knows Greece will let that go to his head and pester him about it for days on end.

... you like Greece, don' t you?

what would make her think that?

You talk about him all the time.

talks about him alot only because they are neighbors and have really strained relations. He doesn't want the Greek to have the wrong

impression that's all.

Poland is my neighbor, I don't talk about him a lot.

doesn't think their relations are strained and is sure that they don't go out of their way to give each other hard times like Greece and he

do.

now knows Turkey doesn't read the news. Or doesn't read the news about Belarus, because no one cares about Belarus, or even knows she

exists.

does read the news but in his country the news concentrates more on things involving him and or news that will affect him in the long run.

Belarus news is mostly about selling weapons to Libya's boss recently, but after the elections Poland has been a real jerk and calling for

lots of sanctions against her boss and government.

also thinks that more people know of Belarus than Canada. He can barely remember a time the North American nation has been mentioned in his

news. But he's sorry to hear about Belarus' situation.

which is worse, to be invisible, or to be notorious?

that being invisible is very lonely and would be more painful than not having any attention at all. At least then you would know that

someone cared enough to pay attention.

pretty sure Poland doesn't pay attention to her because he likes her, but enough about that. Where is it warm in Turkey's country?

that also depends on the time of the year but right now the central and southern aegean coast would be nice to visit.

"Is it warm enough to swim?" has that new bikini to wear.

would in that case suggest either Mermerli Beach or Konyaalti beach.

"What else is there to do?"

"What kind of activities were you thinking of?"

"Hmm, shopping ... clubs to go to. Things like that. Historical points of interest, museums."

"If you want to go clubbing the best spot in that area would be Club Arma and shopping can be down outside or at Migros Shopping Center and

a nice museum to visit is the SUna & Inan Kirac Museum. Make sure to check out the restored chruch in the back and since you're a nation you

won't need the special permission to get into the excellent library that has tons of information on Antalya region."

perks up. "Library?" is very interested. "This sounds like a wonderful holiday. Can I expect a visit with you too?"

grins. "Well if you're visiting the area I would definitely be going with you. It would be rude of me not too and who better a tour guide

then the man who's experienced it all himself."

"How fortunate, to have the best tour guide in the country. I'm sold. I will take this trip as soon as I can."

"Just let me know when."

"That I will most definitely do." gives him a hug. "I'm ready to get out of the snow and cold as soon as possible."

nods. "I don't blame you." He hugs her back.

"I get to go to someplace warm and spend time with you. Sounds perfect to me."

chuckles. "Sounds like a really good time."

"How can it not be. You'll be there too!"

"I'm sure it wouldn't really make that much of a difference wether I am or am no there. It's such a great place you can't help but have

fun."

"True, but knowing someone who lives there and spending time with them will make it more enjoyable for me."

"That sounds fair."

"Hopefully, my visit will be enjoyable for you too."

"Of course it will."

"I'm going to make travel arrangements right away. I can't wait to get out of the snow." is very excited now.

smiles. "Make sure to forward me your boarding and disembarking times and which airport as well."

"You'll meet me at the airport? Really? You are too sweet!" Gives him a big hug.

hugs her back. "You are visiting my country and we are friends."

"You have always been good to me. It means a lot to me."

"It's really no problem at all. As Ataturk once said peace at home, peace in the world." He smiles lightly. He really did miss that man.

nods her head. "I think that's a very wise thing to say." knows her country is far from peaceful.

knows that his country isn't always but at least he tries.

"I'm curious, when as a nation were you happier, as a conquering empire, or now when you're a peaceful republic?"

thats a good question. There were ups and downs for both times. "That's a hard question to answer but right now I would have to say that I'm

fairly happy with now. But if you want a real answer you'll have to give me more time to answer."

him a small smile. "I'll give you all the time you need."

it will take a few days to answer...truthfully.

hopefully she will be on her way to Turkey in a few days, he can tell her then.

definitely can.

make sure to ask him when she's there.
