Hi Barbara !!Your friend was so nice today.She looks so friendly.Obviously ,you have a really nice friendship with her.You had lived in Turkey with her..I think you had some problems in Turkey :) about transportation.We still have this kind of problem.In the US. there are some differences like this that I really like.I think when people go to different country to live there for a long time ,they have some difficulties because they dont use to live there.Also,native people have some advantages just like American people have in here.In Turkey there is no big difference as much as in NY. between foreign and native people.I think all people have equal right in Turkey.For example ,you can work for big company,you can have your own business,you can get phone :),you can get credit card without social number :) I mean you can do everything if you have money :):)
